Parigot Blanc de Blancs Cremant de Bourgogne

A Budget Friendly Champagne Alternative

Considered the very best small producer of Cremant de Bourgogne, Maison Parigot & Richard has been crafting excellent wines from the family estate in Savigny-les-Beaune since 1907.  This Champagne alternative will shock you with just how good it really is. With vineyards situated on the prestigious clay-limestone slopes of the Cote d’Or, it is comprised of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Aligote. Chardonnay grown in Burgundy reaches its ultimate expression here and contributes to the blend ripe fruit flavor and the hallmark minerality that makes Burgundy wines so sought after. A lesser-known, yet permitted varietal in Burgundy is the Aligote grape, which is recognized for its robust acidity and citrusy flavors. The result when made in the labor intensive Methode Champenoise style is a dry, crisp and elegant bottling with plenty of laser-like acidity and a pleasant softness at the finish. More than just bubbly on a budget, this sipper is so good, we think any Champagne lover will enjoy it too.
