    Winemaker Notes

    En Oliver sits next to premier cru Les Arvelets at the forest line, nurtures 35-year-old vines and delivers rich and ripe Burgundy topped with an extra helping of finesse. Smoked meat and peppery plums are gorgeously overwhelming on the aromatic nose. A peppery mouth bowls you over with juicy cranberries and smoke on the long finish.

    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, Burgundy

    Inhabiting the northern reaches of the Côte de Nuits of Burgundy, the Pinot Noir vineyards of Fixin abut Gevrey-Chambertin and produce wines of similar character. The appellation is full of well-reputed Premier Crus that offer some very fine Pinot Noir, even if not quite delivering the exact precision and elegance—nor price tag—of a Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru. These are Les Arvelets and Les Hervelets, Clos de la Perrière, Clos Napoléon and Clos du Chapître. A classic Pinot Noir from Fixin will be rich in dark fruit, underbrush and exhibit good structure and minerality.
