Domaine Philippe Livera

The history of Domaine Philippe Livera

Rigour in the service of excellence

Originally founded in 1920, Domaine des Tilleuls, now renamed Domaine Philippe Livera, is located in the heart of the village of Gevrey-Chambertin. Today, Damien and Hélène Livera, Philippe Livera's children, manage the estate. This 8.5-hectare property primarily cultivates Pinot Noir. There are no Premier Cru vineyards here; the vines are all located in the Côte de Nuits surrounding the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation.

Since 2007, this family estate has distinguished itself through the distinctive character and aroma of its wines. These two talented winemakers drew inspiration from the style of their prestigious neighbors, such as Claude Dugat and Arnaud Mortet. They continue the tradition of excellence passed down through generations by the finest estates of the Côte de Nuits and have masterfully elevated Burgundian Pinot Noir.
