The wine is produced with organic farming practices. This wine originates from the foothills of the commune of Flagey Echezeaux, at an altitude of 239 meters, covering an area of 0.32 hectares. Operated under a long-term lease agreement, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with a semi-continental climate and southeast exposure. The soil composition consists of various types of limestone mixed with red clay marl. Situated on a small relief, the soil also contains limestone scree from the Orveaux valley. The 35-year-old vines are pruned using the Guyot method. Harvesting is carried out manually, with the grapes carefully selected and placed in small crates, followed by rigorous manual sorting. Alcoholic fermentation, utilizing indigenous yeasts, occurs after 100% destemming. The wine then undergoes a 15-month aging process in oak barrels, with 10% new oak. Light fining and filtration are conducted before bottling. With an annual production of 2,400 bottles and an average production of 2,000 bottles, Bourgogne "Les Combes" Rouge presents an exuberant nose with a bouquet of red fruits, notably cherries, accompanied by peppery notes. On the palate, it boasts a beautiful, powerful, and structured attack with a persistent finish. This Bourgogne wine is complete and complex, offering a truly satisfying experience.

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.
