This wine is crafted through sustainable agriculture methods. The vineyard is nestled at the foot of the slope in the commune of Fixin, standing at an altitude of 226 meters. Operated through grape purchasing, the terroir benefits from an oceanic climate with a semicontinental climate, boasting an eastern exposure. The soil, a blend of clay-limestone, predominantly features clayey loams sourced from the Courtavaux stream and limestone scree. Aligoté vines, aged 25 years on average, are meticulously tended using the Guyot pruning system.

Harvesting is carried out manually, with grapes rigorously sorted at the parcel. Following this, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occurs in oak barrels without stirring. Ageing takes place in oak barrels without new oak additions, followed by light fining and filtration. With an annual production of 1700 bottles, "La Combe Guyot" Aligoté epitomizes a mineral-driven wine with nuances of white flowers and citrus on the nose. Its palate is fresh, embodying a wine that harmoniously balances tension and elegance.

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.
