Cultivated through sustainable agriculture, the vineyard is located south of the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges, at an altitude of 239 meters, covering 0.32 hectares. Operating through grape purchasing, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with a semi-continental climate and an eastern exposure. Its soil, clay-limestone with a significant presence of chailles (siliceous concretions), nurtures 45-year-old Pinot Noir vines pruned using the 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 15 months, including 10% new barrels, followed by light fining and filtration. The annual production is around 1400 bottles. Tasting notes reveal aromas of red fruits, spices, and pepper on the nose, a powerful and precise palate with a complex and potent character typical of 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.
