The wine is produced with organic farming practices. This wine originates from the base of the slope, adjacent to the Chambolle-Musigny area, at an altitude of 247 meters, covering an area of 0.47 hectares. Operated under a long-term lease agreement, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental influences and eastern exposure. The soil and subsoil consist of alluvial sandy loams on Bresse marls, with a significant proportion of clay and scree from the Chambolle valley. The vines, aged 40 years, are managed with Guyot pruning. Harvesting involves manual selection into small crates, followed by meticulous sorting by hand. Alcoholic fermentation, using indigenous yeasts, occurs after 100% destemming. The wine then matures for 15 months in oak barrels, with 15% new oak. Light fining and filtration are applied before bottling. With an average production of 3,000 bottles, Bourgogne "Les Athets" Rouge offers a generous and inviting character with aromas of cherry and spices. It boasts a more structured profile compared to its neighbor, Les Maladières. The wine demonstrates great persistence on the palate while maintaining finesse.

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.
