Bourgogne Chardonnay Tilleuls (Domaine des) - Philippe Livera 2018

The wine

This Chardonnay is a wonderful surprise from a talented vinifier of Pinot Noir. A beautiful white wine from a limestone-rich soil, with aromas of stone and grilled sesame. This white Bourgogne has great tension and vibrancy on the palate.

About the Producer Domaine des Tilleuls - Philippe Livera

Domaine des Tilleuls is an excellent name that is passed on by Burgundy connoisseurs. The 1920 family domaine is located in the heart of the village of Gevrey-Chambertin. It is now Philippe Livera’s son, Damien who runs the domaine. The vineyards are managed in a responsible, sustainable way to minimise the use of external substances. The vines, almost exclusively of Pinot Noir, are covered in grass. Special care is taken for the soil. The domaine has very beautiful plots in the appellations Gevrey village, Fixin, Côtes-de-Nuits-villages and Chapelle-Chambertin. Fermentation is long and all wines are aged in oak barrels for 11 to 18 months.
