2018 Parigot & Richard Crèmant de Bourgogne "Prophète" Extra Brut, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE:

An ode to slowness, to ripening step by step. The respect of time. The symbiosis of a remarkable year, the balance of old-vine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and aging on lees for at least 42 months.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER:

Parigot & Richard has been producing fine Crémant in Burgundy for five generations, and remains one of the very few domaines that focuses exclusively on these wines. Located in Savigny-lès-Beaune, with vineyards in both the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, Parigot is today directed by Grégory Georger, the current generation’s torchbearer. He adheres precisely in every respect to the traditional Méthode Champenoise, from hand-harvesting, pressing and fermentation, even hand-riddling.
