About producer: Parigot & Richard has been a prominent producer of Crémant de Bourgogne for five generations, specializing exclusively in these exquisite sparkling wines. Situated in Savigny-lès-Beaune, with vineyards spanning both the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, the estate is now led by Grégory Georger, who continues the family tradition with meticulous care. The winery remains dedicated to the traditional Méthode Champenoise, employing hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, and fermentation, as well as hand-riddling to ensure the highest quality. Parigot & Richard’s commitment to these time-honored techniques results in Crémants that are refined, elegant, and distinctly reflective of their Burgundy origins.
About wine: This sparkling wine from Parigot & Richard isn't Champagne, but it's as close as one can hope to get—both literally and figuratively—at a fraction of the price. La Sentinelle is a blanc de blancs crafted from 80% Chardonnay and 20% Aligoté. The fruit comes from old vines in the Côte de Beaune and Hautes-Côtes. After the secondary fermentation is completed in the bottle, the wine rests for about 36 months on its lees. Citrusy and floral aromas dominate, with subtle hints of rising bread dough and crushed stones complementing the lemony fruit. Bone-dry and well-structured, it boasts the crystalline quality blanc de blancs wines are known for, yet with significant palate weight.
