We predict the possible existence of a new phase of liquid crystals near the
nematic-isotropic ($ NI $) transition. This phase is an achiral, tilt-analogue
of the blue phase and is composed of a lattice of {\em double-tilt},
escape-configuration cylinders. We discuss the structure and the stability of
this phase and provide an estimate of the lattice parameter.
