Sonoma Coast Littorai The Pivot Vineyard 2023

The family-run Littorai estate was founded in 1993 on the north coast of California, through the hard work of Heidi and Ted Lemon. Together, they lovingly craft exceptional cuvées from Chardonnay, Chenin and Pinot Noir grapes. Prior to establishing the estate, Ted started his career in wine in 1981, graduating from the University of Dijon with a degree in oenology. He went on to hone his skills and knowledge at iconic vineyards such as Domaine Guy Roulot in Meursault, Georges Roumier, Bruno Clair, Parent, Dujac and the Villaine vineyard. Ted’s unique savoir-faire and extensive experience combine to produce authentic wines expressing the unique characteristics of the terroir, in keeping with an environmentally friendly philosophy and approach. In 2010, Ted’s hard work was commended by the San Francisco Chronicle, which rightly voted him winemaker of the year.
