Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits

"Les Martennes"

This wine comes from the northern part of Segrois, situated in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, on steep slopes at an altitude of 340 meters, covering 1.65 hectares. Cultivated through long-term leasing, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with a semi-continental climate and a western exposure. Its soil, a blend of white marl and white limestone scree in equal proportions, provides a perfect environment for 25-year-old Pinot Noir vines trained in high vines and pruned using the double 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 takes place in oak barrels for 13 months, with 5% new barrels. The annual production is around 8500 bottles. Tasting notes reveal a highly fruity aroma with red fruit and spicy undertones, a full-bodied palate with imposing structure and silky tannins, and a complex and balanced character typical of Hautes-Côtes de Nuits.

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.
