PHILIPPE LIVERA Domaine des Tilleuls Gevrey-Chambertin 'Clos Village' - Cote de Nuits 2020 Bottle (los)

Description

This 8.5-hectare domaine was founded in 1920 by the great grandfather of Damien Livera, who currently runs the property. Prior to Damien taking over in 2007, the grapes (from old vines planted in the 50s and 60s) were sold to the large Beaune negociants. However, since 2007, there has been a total regeneration of the domaine – low yields, a strict form of lutte raisonnée, no herbicides, manual working of the soils and a total upgrading of the vineyards and a new winery - and a resultant quantum leap in quality. There is such concentration, generosity of fruit and precision of these outstanding wines. This wine is vinified in 40% new oak for 12 months and then 6 months in stainless-steel vats, with neither fining nor filtration. Damien Livéra recommends waiting 5 years before opening.
