Domaine Les Astrelles

Domaines Les Astrelles is situated in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin. It takes its name from the fusion of ‘Astre’ meaning stars, and ‘Les Parcelles’, to form Les Astrelles, representing the similarity between the mosaic of plots and ‘lieu-dits’ and the stars within a galaxy, each with its unique individuality.

The name marries perfectly with the philosophy of individual ‘climats’ in Burgundy, which are cultivated mostly in the Côte de Nuit and Hautes Côtes de Nuit. Jean Marie and Isabelle Chapier took over the 11-hectare domain in 2019 from Pierre Naigeon and have started investing in the estate, with a new winery under construction for the 2024 vintage. The estate has been certified organic since 2019, the average age of the vines is remarkably high, mostly over 50 years, which endows the wines with an extraordinary quality, maturity and concentration. Cellar master Julien Millet, (son of François Millet the former winemaker of Comtes de Vogüé), meticulously crafts wines using indigenous yeasts resulting in silky and elegant cuvées with lovely freshness and beautiful balance.
