This wine is made from a vineyard situated on the upper part of the Mazis Chambertin appellation, located at an altitude of 286 meters and covering a surface area of 0.039 hectares. Managed under long-term lease collaboration, this vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental influences and an eastern exposure. The soil, shallow and resting on the exposed bedrock of Prémeaux limestone, contributes to the wine's distinct character. The Pinot Noir vines, averaging 70 years in age, are meticulously pruned using the guyot method. Harvesting involves manual picking into small crates, followed by rigorous hand sorting to ensure only the finest grapes are selected. Alcoholic fermentation occurs through 100% destemmed grapes with indigenous yeasts.

The wine then undergoes aging in oak barrels for 15 months, exclusively in new barrels, to further enhance its complexity and structure. After ageing, the wine is lightly fined and filtered to clarify and stabilize it before bottling. The limited production yields only around 130 bottles annually, making "Les Mazis Hauts" a rare and sought-after wine. Tasting notes reveal its power and length, with a remarkable complexity that unfolds on the palate. It offers a broad and refined texture, with intense red fruit flavors complemented by subtle roasted notes on the finish. Overall, "Les Mazis Hauts" is a distinguished wine that showcases the essence of Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru, with nuances of red fruits that linger throughout the tasting experience.

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.
