Il primo americano a lavorare come produttore di vino in Borgogna, il fondatore di Littorai Ted Lemon voleva perseguire la moderazione e l'eleganza del vecchio mondo in California quando tornò negli Stati Uniti, e così lui e sua moglie Heidi identificarono le fresche contee di Sonoma e Mendocino come le luoghi in cui procurarsi l'uva per il loro nuovo progetto.

Una breve storia
Ted Lemon è nato nel 1958, ma non è cresciuto in un ambiente ricco di vino. Tuttavia, nel 1981 andò a Digione per studiare enologia e successivamente decise di rimanere in Borgogna e trovare un lavoro come topo da cantina.
Una telefonata a Roz Seysses al Domaine Dujac si è rivelata opportuna, poiché suo marito Jacques era disteso sulla schiena con la sciatica. Ted ha trascorso quel raccolto portando campioni di cisterne a Seysses e poi seguendo le sue istruzioni. Ha seguito questo con periodi di lavoro in alcuni degli altri top domain della Borgogna, tra cui Georges Roumier e Bruno Clair.
Un anno dopo Ted è tornato in Borgogna per recitare come produttore di vino al Domaine Roulot, a Meursault, mentre Jean-Marc Roulot ha seguito una carriera di attore. Ted è diventato il primo enologo americano in Borgogna ed è rimasto a Roulot per tre anni prima di tornare a casa negli Stati Uniti, dove ha trascorso del tempo a lavorare nella Napa Valley prima di fondare Littorai nel 1992.
