Coteaux Bourguignons Blanc

"En Riotte"

Produced following strict organic farming principles, this vineyard is nestled in the commune of Boncourt-le-Bois, covering an area of 0.44 hectares. Operated under a long-term lease agreement, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental influences and an eastern exposure. The soil and subsoil are characterized by scree from a cone on Bresse marls, predominantly clayey with limestone debris. Exclusively crafted from Chardonnay grapes, the vines, aged just 5 years, are meticulously pruned using the Guyot method. Harvesting is carried out manually, with grapes carefully collected. Alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation occur in oak barrels and ceramic vats without stirring. The wine undergoes a 15-month aging process in oak barrels, including 10% new oak, and 14% in ceramic vats. With an annual production of around 2500 bottles, Coteaux Bourguignons "Terreau Thomas" Blanc enchants with its enticing aromas of pears and white flowers. On the palate, it boasts a beautiful length, striking a perfect balance with delightful flavors of white fruits. This wine promises a captivating tasting experience, showcasing elegance and finesse in every sip.

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.
