Apinost is 100% Gamay from a single plot of old vines planted in 1935 and 1972 in Saint-Germain-Nuelles, Southern Beaujolais. The vines grow on clay, limestone, and granite soils and are worked by horse. Whole-cluster fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged 8-10 months in used barrels. No fining, no filtration, minimal sulfur. Only 766 bottles produced.
Icy Liu's journey from Taipei to Columbia University to NYC finance to Burgundy is one of wine's great origin stories. After earning an MBA in Wine with Distinction and studying oenology in Dijon, she launched her own project in 2022 with the help of friend Bastian Wolber. Her wines have already earned 95+ points from critics and are fiercely allocated.
Tasting: Bright raspberry, cherry, and violet lifted by almost lemony acidity. Light-bodied and utterly gluggable, yet interesting — the granite minerality and old-vine concentration give it real depth beneath the charm.
