This wine hails from the southeastern region of Gevrey-Chambertin in Burgundy, at an altitude of 255 meters, covering 0.41 hectares of land. It benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental influences and an eastern exposure. The soil, characterized by gravel cones on Bresse marl with a significant clay content, provides a nurturing environment for 55-year-old Pinot Noir vines pruned using the guyot method. The winemaking process involves manual harvesting in small crates to preserve the grapes, followed by meticulous hand sorting. Fermentation occurs with 100% destemmed grapes with indigenous yeasts. Ageing happens in oak barrels for 15 months without new barrels. The annual production is around 2600 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.
