This wine is produced in a 0.73-hectare vineyard located east of the National Road and south of the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, at an altitude of 263 meters. The vineyard is both owned and leased for long-term cultivation. The terroir benefits from an oceanic climate with a semi-continental climate and an eastern exposure, with clay-limestone soil containing limestone pebbles from the Combe de Lavaux alluvial soil. The 50-year-old vines are pruned using the Guyot method.

The grapes are harvested manually in small crates to avoid spoilage, undergo rigorous manual sorting, and are then 100% destemmed before undergoing alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 13 months in oak barrels, 15% of which are new, with light fining and filtration. Approximately 2400 bottles are produced, with an average yield of 1800 bottles. Tasting notes include aromas of red fruits and violet florals on the nose, leading to a precise, elegant wine with a supple palate and cherry notes, showcasing great aromatic 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.
