This wine is produced using sustainable agriculture methods, and comes from a 0.41-hectare vineyard situated mid-slope south of the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, beneath the premier crus, at an altitude of 274 meters. The vineyard is operated through leasing and grape purchase. Sharing a similar terroir, it benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental influences and an eastern exposure. The soil consists of limestone with marl and loam. Planted with Pinot Noir, the vines range from 40 to 90 years old, pruned using the Guyot method.

Grapes are harvested manually, sorted rigorously, and undergo 100% destemmed grapes fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Ageing occurs in oak barrels for 13 months, with 30% new barrels, followed by filtration. Approximately 1750 bottles are produced annually, with an average yield of 1650 bottles. Tasting notes highlight its generous, bold character with a crisp attack, assertive structure, and pure fruit expression. Its texture is smooth and sap-like, offering a high-end village wine with significant ageing potential.

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.
