Winemaker Notes
Vivier Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is generous, expressive and begging to be drunk! It has deep aromas of pomegranate, red cherries and blueberries with nuances of garrigue, Angostura bitters and orange peel. The medium-bodied palate is softly chalky and fresh, full of voluptuous, spicy fruit, with pretty botanical accents on the long finish.
About Winery
Winemaker Stephané grew up in Meloisey, Burgundy in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. He learned from a 70-year-old winegrower in Pommard. He obtained advanced degrees in viticulture and enology from Université de Bourgogne in Dijon, and subsequently worked in Switzerland, Sonoma and New Zealand. He was attracted to American vineyards where winemakers were not bound by tradition or AOC restrictions.
The winery was designed and developed to accommodate every aspect of de Villaine's winemaking philosophy of minimal intervention. Aubert de Villaine, former Co-Director of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, married Larry Hyde’s cousin, Pamela, bringing the two families together.
To Stéphane, the best winemaker is one that largely keeps his hands to himself, allowing the alchemy of nature to do what it does best. He thinks of himself as a lazy winemaker, in the best sense that the wine is made in the vineyard and the winemakers best skill is staying out of the way of the fruit’s expression in the cellar. Today, Vivier is one of the United States’ most noted practitioners of the art of Pinot Noir.

About Winery
Vivier Winery was founded by Stéphane Vivier, a Burgundian-born winemaker who brought his Old World sensibilities to California’s Sonoma Coast. Raised in Burgundy, he studied viticulture and enology at the Université de Bourgogne in Dijon and gained experience in Switzerland, New Zealand, and Sonoma before becoming winemaker at Hyde de Villaine, a prestigious Napa project blending Burgundian finesse with California fruit. Inspired by this background, Vivier established his own label, Vivier Wines, where he crafts Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Rosé with a philosophy he calls “lazy winemaking”—a patient, minimalist approach that lets the vineyard and nature speak for themselves, marrying Burgundian restraint with California’s raw potential.
