This cuvée is produced through sustainable agriculture, and originates east of the village of Fixin, at an altitude of 268 meters. Operating through grape purchasing, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with a semi-continental climate and a southeastern exposure. Its soil, clay-limestone with significant clay content, nurtures Pinot Noir vines aged between 25 and 55 years, pruned using the Guyot method. Manual harvesting in small crates and rigorous hand sorting precede alcoholic fermentation with 100% destemmed grapes and indigenous yeasts. Ageing happens in oak barrels for 15 months, including 15% new barrels, followed by filtration. The annual production is around 2000 bottles. Tasting notes describe a pleasing aroma of red fruits, and a silky texture with a certain structure, resulting in a rounded and easy-drinking Burgundy

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.
