Located to the south of Aloxe Corton village at an altitude of 240 meters, "Les Chaillots" Rouge is made using sustainable agriculture. This wine is made from purchased grapes and boasts a terroir characterized by an oceanic climate with a semi-continental tendency. Its southeastern exposure contributes to its unique flavour profile. The soil, a blend of clay and thick, non-limestone layers resulting from the alteration of colluvial clay, along with 40-year-old vines pruned using the Guyot method.

The winemaking process involves manual harvesting small crates to avoid spoilage, followed by rigorous hand sorting in the winery. Fermentation occurs through 100% destemmed grapes with indigenous yeasts, followed by 13 months of ageing in oak barrels, around 20% of which are new. A light fining and filtration process precedes the bottling. The annual production is around 2000 bottles.

Domaine Les Astrelles

Gevrey-Chambertin

Domaine Les Astrelles, formerly Pierre Naigeon, situated in Gevrey-Chambertin, has undergone significant changes since 2019 under owners Isabelle and Jean-Marie Chapier.

They've assembled a dynamic team, with Isabelle overseeing administrative and accounting tasks. Joining in April 2020, winemaker Julien Millet, supported by Alex Debruere, leads cellar operations alongside Xavier Champsaur, contributing to cellar work and order preparations.

Sophie Genot manages commercial, administrative, and customs aspects since October 2020. In 2022, Gaylord Boyeaux joined as vineyard team leader.

The winery is undergoing further development, with a new facility set to be completed by August this year. Presently, Domaine Les Astrelles manages about 14 hectares of organically cultivated vineyards across Gevrey-Chambertin, Bourgogne, Marsannay, and Fixin.

They also maintain a conscientious négociant segment, emphasizing hand-harvesting and close relationships with winegrowers.
