The wine is meticulously crafted through organic farming practices. This vineyard is situated in the commune of Couchey, at an altitude of 260 meters, covering an area of 0.15 hectares. Operated under a long-term lease agreement, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental influences and eastward exposure. The soil and subsoil consist of scree from a cone on Bresse marls. A blend of 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Gris, the vines, averaging 30 years of age, are meticulously pruned using the Guyot method. Harvesting is carried out manually, with grapes delicately selected and placed in small crates, followed by rigorous manual sorting. Alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation occur in oak barrels without stirring. The wine then undergoes a 13-month aging process in oak barrels, with no new oak. Light fining and filtration are applied before bottling. With an annual production of 400 bottles, Coteaux Bourguignons "En Auvonne" Blanc delights the senses with its luscious aromas of yellow fruits. It offers a balanced palate, featuring a silky texture and a hint of acidity that accentuates and accompanies the wine's finale. This wine epitomizes harmony and elegance, promising a memorable tasting 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.
