Bourgogne Passe-Tout-Grains

"En Riottes"

The wine is produced with organic farming practices. This wine originates from the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, situated just south of the Segrois commune at an altitude of 330 meters, covering an area of 1.12 hectares. Operated under a long-term lease agreement, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental influences and western exposure. The soil composition is primarily characterized by white marls and debris of white limestone. The vineyard is planted with equal parts Pinot Noir and Gamay vines, both aged 25 years and pruned using the double Guyot method. Harvesting involves manual selection into small crates, followed by meticulous manual sorting. Alcoholic fermentation, employing 100% destemmed berries, occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts. The wine then matures in oak barrels for 13 months, with 5% new oak. A light fining and filtration process precede bottling. With an annual production of 8,500 bottles and an average production of 8,000 bottles, this Bourgogne Passe-Tout-Grains "En Riottes" offers a luscious character with delightful sweetness. Its aromas are reminiscent of tangy cherry and blackcurrant candies, while the palate is generous and charming, culminating in a fruity finish.

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.
