The wine is produced through organic farming practices. This wine hails from the Segrois region, nestled on steep slopes with a pronounced incline. It is a blend of two parcels: En Riottes, located south of the village of Segrois (Altitude: 332 m), and Petite Vigne, situated above Riottes at the top of the slope (Altitude: 345 m). The total surface area spans 3 hectares. Operated under a long-term lease agreement, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental influences. The western exposure allows for optimal sun exposure. The soil, primarily composed of limestone with debris from the Mantuan forest, exhibits varying proportions of limestone and clay across different parcels. The Pinot Noir vines, averaging 25 years in age, are meticulously tended using high vine planting and double Guyot pruning. Harvesting involves manual selection into small crates, ensuring the preservation of pristine grapes, followed by rigorous manual sorting. Alcoholic fermentation occurs through 100% whole-berry maceration with indigenous yeasts. The wine then undergoes ageing in oak barrels for 13 months, with 5% new oak. A light fining and filtration process precedes bottling. With a production of 12,700 bottles in 2021 and an average annual production of 18,000 bottles, this Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge presents a refreshing profile with notes of red berries and spices. Its fine tannins contribute to its complexity, while the wine's minerality and subtle sweetness make for a harmonious and refined expression of the terroir.

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.
