Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits

Blanc "Les Martennes"

Cultivated through sustainable agriculture, the vineyard lies east of the village of Puligny-Montrachet, at an altitude of 225 meters. Operating through must purchasing, the vineyard enjoys an oceanic climate with a semi-continental climate and a southeastern exposure. Its soil, clay-limestone with a dominance of clay and silt, as well as scree from the slope, nourishes 35-year-old Chardonnay vines pruned using the Guyot method.

The winemaking process involves alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrels without stirring. Ageing happens in oak barrels for 13 months, with 25% new barrels, followed by light fining and filtration. The annual production is around 1000 bottles. Tasting notes reveal a highly aromatic nose with hints of Williams pear and sesame, a generous and precise palate with balanced acidity, and a complete and complex 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.
