Domaine Les Astrelles - 2022 Rouge Les Combes

The wine is produced with organic farming practices. This wine originates from the foothills of the commune of Flagey Echezeaux, at an altitude of 239 meters, covering an area of 0.32 hectares. Operated under a long-term lease agreement, the vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with a semi-continental climate and southeast exposure. The soil composition consists of various types of limestone mixed with red clay marl. Situated on a small relief, the soil also contains limestone scree from the Orveaux valley. The 35-year-old vines are pruned using the Guyot method. Harvesting is carried out manually, with the grapes carefully selected and placed in small crates, followed by rigorous manual sorting. Alcoholic fermentation, utilizing indigenous yeasts, occurs after 100% destemming. The wine then undergoes a 15-month aging process in oak barrels, with 10% new oak. Light fining and filtration are conducted before bottling. With an annual production of 2,400 bottles and an average production of 2,000 bottles, Bourgogne "Les Combes" Rouge presents an exuberant nose with a bouquet of red fruits, notably cherries, accompanied by peppery notes. On the palate, it boasts a beautiful, powerful, and structured attack with a persistent finish. This Bourgogne wine is complete and complex, offering a truly satisfying experience. - Cru Parcellaire, Importer.
