The wine is produced through sustainable agriculture practices. This wine originates from the commune of Curtil-Vergy, situated at an elevation of 350 meters. Operated through grape procurement, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental influences, boasting an eastern exposure. The soil composition consists of limestone marls, enriched with a significant proportion of white clays. The Aligoté vines, aged 40 years, are meticulously tended using the Guyot pruning method. Harvesting involves manual selection directly at the vineyard, ensuring only the finest grapes are chosen. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occur in barrels without stirring.

Aging proceeds for 15 months, with 10% in new barrels and 10% in clay vessels, followed by light fining and filtration. With an annual production of 2,250 bottles and an average of 3,500 bottles, "Les Lares" Aligoté presents a full-bodied palate with citrus and white fruit aromas. Its palate is precise and lively, boasting a delightful mouthfeel and a lingering finish characterized by citrus notes.

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.
