This wine originates from Segrois in the Hautes Côtes de Nuits region. Spanning 0.73 hectares, it's cultivated through long-term leasing. The terroir showcases a semi-continental climate with a western exposure, featuring white marl on a bedrock of white limestone, ideal for the Aligoté grape variety. With 20-year-old vines trained in high vines and pruned in double guyot, the vineyard ensures quality. Manual harvesting and meticulous sorting precede alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels and ceramic tanks without stirring. Ageing occurs for 15 months, with 10% in ceramic tanks, 85% in oak barrels, and 5% in new acacia barrels. The annual production is around 6000 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.
