2016 Domaine Philippe Livera Bourgogne Rouge Vieilles Vignes

The key to discovering the extraordinary diversity of Gevrey-Chambertin is found in the cellars of Domaine Livera. These are wines that are both striking in their fidelity to the Livera family’s exemplary terroir and memorable for their uncanny ability to translate Gevrey’s earthy seduction to the glass. Today, fourth generation winemaker, Damien Livera is at the helm. Crafting some of the region’s more terroir-true, supple and elegant wines, Damien has quickly established himself as one of the top young winemakers in the Côte de Nuits. 

What sets the Liveras apart is their attention to Gevrey’s collection of unique terroirs. To a one, the family’s villages-level vineyards are natural extensions of premier cru plots; and as such these wines over achieve every vintage, with fine tannins and rich textures, not to mention an uncanny ability to age far above their station.

Tasting Notes: Red Wine. 100% Pinot Noir. Aromas of black fruits, such as cherry and cassis lift onto the nose. The wine is juicy and refined, with light notes of earth and incense. Pair alongside roasted chicken with herbs or grilled pork sausages.
