ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

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