The wine is produced from a vineyard located north of the village at an altitude of 269 meters, covering 0.18 hectares. The vineyard, managed through both estate-owned and long-term lease practices, benefits from an oceanic climate with a semi-continental climate and an eastern exposure. Its soil composition includes Comblanchien limestone partially covered by scree from the Combe Lavaux, providing a suitable environment for Pinot Noir vines with an average age of 70 years, pruned using the guyot method. Manual harvesting in small crates and rigorous hand sorting precede alcoholic fermentation through 100% destemmed grapes with indigenous yeasts.

Ageing occurs in oak barrels for 13 months, with 30% new barrels, followed by light fining and filtration. The annual production is around 700 bottles. Tasting notes highlight an exuberant nose with aromas of red fruits and spices. On the palate, the wine presents a full-bodied and structured profile, featuring cherry flavors with hints of violet and liquorice. It's a wine of great complexity with excellent 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.
