Den første amerikaneren som jobbet som vinprodusent i Burgund, ønsket Littorais grunnlegger Ted Lemon å forfølge gammeldags tilbakeholdenhet og eleganse i California da han kom tilbake til USA, og derfor identifiserte han og kona Heidi de kule Sonoma og Mendocino fylkene som de perfekte steder for å skaffe druer til det nye prosjektet.

En kort historie
Ted Lemon ble født i 1958, men vokste ikke opp i et vinkjært miljø. I 1981 dro han imidlertid til Dijon for å studere Enology og bestemte seg etterpå for å bli i Bourgogne og finne en jobb som kjellerrotte.
En telefonsamtale til Roz Seysses på Domaine Dujac viste seg å være betimelig, da ektemannen Jacques var flat på ryggen med isjias. Ted brukte høsten på å ta tankprøver til Seysses og deretter følge instruksjonene. Han fulgte dette med staver av arbeid på noen av Burgundys andre toppdomener, inkludert Georges Roumier og Bruno Clair.
Et år senere vendte Ted tilbake til Bourgogne for å fungere som vinprodusent hos Domaine Roulot i Meursault, mens Jean-Marc Roulot fulgte en skuespillerkarriere. Ted ble den første amerikanske vinprodusenten i Bourgogne og bodde på Roulot i tre år før han kom hjem til USA, hvor han tilbrakte tid på å jobbe i Napa Valley før han grunnla Littorai i 1992.
