Coteaux Bourguignons Blanc

"En Riotte"

The wine comes from a vineyard which is cultivated through long-term leasing, it is located south of the commune of Segrois, at an altitude of 320 meters, covering 0.83 hectares. The vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with a semi-continental climate and a western exposure. Its soil, marly and limestone, with a higher proportion of marls, provide an ideal environment for 5-year-old vines consisting of 50% Pinot Blanc and 50% Pinot Gris, pruned using the guyot method.

Manual harvesting precedes alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrels or ceramic tanks without stirring. Ageing occurs in oak barrels for 15 months, including 9% new barrels and 10% ceramic tanks. The annual production is around 5000 bottles. Tasting notes describe a wine with a straightforward, floral nose with white flower and pear notes, exhibiting exuberance on the palate with refreshing acidity and precision.

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.
