2024 Icy Liu Santenay 'Mulan', Cote de Beaune, France
$110.00
"The name 'Mulan' is a play on word for the moulin (windmill in French) that’s right behind the plot. I declassified the 1er cru plot because of the young vines. P.S. There is a cute monster hidden in the label." - Icy
- From 1er Cru Beauregard (declassified to Santenay due to the age of the vines), southeast-facing, clay-limestone from the Upper Jurassic Period, shallow topsoil with small stones.
