This wine is made through sustainable agriculture methods. This vineyard is situated on the renowned Côte de Nuits area, above the hamlet of Fixey, at an altitude of 330 meters. Operated through grape purchase agreements, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental influences and an eastern exposure. The soil composition consists of limestone with entroques and clay-loam-sandy soil, featuring a thin layer of limestone. Exclusively crafted from Pinot Noir grapes sourced from 30-year-old vines, the vineyard is meticulously managed with Guyot pruning. Harvesting is conducted manually, with grapes carefully selected and collected in small crates.

Alcoholic fermentation, using indigenous yeasts, occurs following 100% destemming. The wine then undergoes a 15-month aging process in oak barrels, with 25% new oak. With an annual production of around 850 bottles, Fixin "L'Olivier" Rouge offers a captivating tasting experience. It greets the palate with a bold and crisp attack, adorned with fine tannins and refreshing acidity. The wine exhibits a delightful minerality and structural complexity, beautifully balanced by the freshness of its fruit character.

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.
