Produced through sustainable agriculture, the vines to produce this wine are located in the commune of Ladoix-Serrigny at an altitude of 255 meters. Operating through grape purchasing, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental climate and an eastern exposure. Its soil, composed of Comblanchien limestone and thin, non-limestone soil resulting from the alteration of colluvial and hard limestone, nurtures 26-year-old Chardonnay vines pruned using the guyot method.

The wine-making process involves manual harvesting in small crates to preserve the grapes, followed by meticulous hand sorting. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occurs in barrels without stirring. Ageing happens in 100% new oak barrels for 15 months, followed by light fining and filtration. The annual production is around 280 bottles. Tasting notes describe a highly expressive nose with aromas of Williams pear and ginger, a wine of great complexity and aromatic persistence, and a refined and profound character typical of Corton Grand Cru.

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.
