    Winemaker Notes

    This exceptional plot of old vines (45 to 60 years old) called "Preau," in Brochon, is for all purposes identical in exposition and soils as neighboring Gevrey village vineyards. This is a site that in the hands of the family Livera consistently outperforms most Gevrey village wines. Not only is this a spectacular value for villages Burgundy, but also shows far above its station, and should age effortlessly for five to 10 years.

    The Livera family makes "old world" Burgundies that are earthy, pure and incredibly complex.

    Now Philippe's son Damien has taken a more active role in the domaine, starting with the family's exemplary older-vine vineyards.

    Chez Livera everything is done by hand—pruning, tilling and harvesting—but now the hands are four instead of just two. Livera owns one of the coldest cellars and malolactic fermentations there are agonizingly slow, resulting in wines with the utmost in depth and complexity.

    Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

    Cote de Nuits Wine

    Cote d'Or, Burgundy

    The origin of perhaps the world’s very finest Pinot Noir, Côte de Nuits is the northern half of the Côte d'Or and includes the famous wine villages of Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée, Flagey-Echezeaux and Nuits-St-Georges.

    Fine whites from Chardonnay are certainly found in the Côte de Nuits, but with much less frequency than top-performing reds made of Pinot noir. The little village of Nuits-St-Georges in its southern end gave the region its name: Côte de Nuits. The city of Dijon marks its northern border.
