Product Description
Sourced from 70-year-old vines directly bordering Clos de Bèze, this rare 2021 delivers the majesty of Gevrey-Chambertin for a fraction of the price of its famous neighbors.
Story: Real estate in Burgundy is all about who your neighbors are.
Chapelle-Chambertin is one of the most prestigious addresses in Gevrey-Chambertin. It sits directly below the legendary Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, sharing the same hallowed slope and climatic DNA. If you look at the producers farming this tiny Grand Cru, the list is intimidating: Cécile Tremblay ($1,500+), Domaine Ponsot ($600+), and Jean-Louis Trapet ($450+).
Then there is Domaine Philippe Livera.
Now run by Philippe’s son, Damien Livera, this estate has quietly become one of the most exciting under-the-radar sources in the village. Damien has moved away from the rustic, extractive style of the past toward pure elegance and silk.
His parcel in Chapelle-Chambertin is a jewel. It is a tiny plot of vines planted in 1952, meaning you are drinking elixir from 70-year-old roots. In the 2021 vintage—a year defined by low yields and classic, high-toned freshness—these old vines produced a wine of startling transparency. It offers the profound complexity of Tremblay or Trapet, but because the Livera name hasn't yet reached cult status, it remains accessible.
