About
Parigot Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut "La Sentinelle" is an exquisitely dry sparkling wine, crafted entirely from Chardonnay grapes meticulously selected from the limestone-rich soils of Burgundy, France. This Crémant de Bourgogne, bearing the Extra Brut designation, showcases a minimalistic approach to sugar addition, allowing the purity and expressiveness of the Chardonnay grape to shine through, reflecting the distinctive terroir and Parigot's mastery in traditional sparkling wine production. "La Sentinelle" serves as a beacon of quality and elegance, embodying the pristine character and finesse expected from top-tier Blanc de Blancs.
Producer
From the north of Burgundy to the very south, the sparkling wines here showcase the diversity of the region's terroirs. The village of Savigny-le-Bon is considered the birthplace of traditional methods of sparkling wine production. Created here in the heart of the Côte de Beaune region, sparkling wines convey all the classic qualities of a particular terroir. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the leading grape varieties. At the beginning of the last century, Emile Parigot chose a profession unusual for his native region, becoming a producer of sparkling wines. His example was followed by five generations who continued the traditions laid down by him. Over time, the methods have improved, resulting in the creation of sparkling wines of the highest quality worthy of the Parigot name.
Tasting notes
Upon tasting, “La Sentinelle” reveals a vibrant bouquet of citrus blossom, green apple, and white peach, underpinned by a subtle note of toasted almonds and a chalky minerality that speaks to its Burgundian origins. The palate is marked by a bright acidity and a creamy mousse, leading to a long, sophisticated finish that is both refreshing and complex.
Pairing
This sparkling wine is a perfect match for delicate seafood dishes, such as grilled sea bass or scallops, where its crispness and subtle fruit notes complement the natural flavors of the seafood. It also pairs wonderfully with a classic Caesar salad or fresh goat cheese, providing a crisp and refreshing contrast that enhances the overall dining experience with its elegance and finesse.

Aligote
Light dry white wines are made from Aligote. The bouquet is floral, with herbal notes and light minerality. The acidity is high. Aligote wines better to consume in young age.
Burgundy
Burgundy (Bourgogne) can be confusing because of the multiplicity of its appellations - all the small vineyards are divided between multiple producers so it can often be difficult to understand this diversity. However, it is the exact reason why the wines of Burgundy are considered to be the finest in the world. A common topic of discussion, when talking about Burgundy, is the concept of "terroir" - a unique combination of soil and climate conditions that affects the taste of wine in the appellations, making it unique to each village. Winemakers mainly use the capricious Pinot Noir and the classical Chardonnay to create true masterpieces, while Gamay and Aligote are used to make wines of a bit simpler style. Particular attention should be paid to the hierarchy of wines. First there are the regional and village wines, a step higher - the Premier Cru wines and the outstanding Grand Cru - at the top. Due the complex and inconsistent weather that can notably impact wine quality especially in bad harvest years, a very important factor here is the so called millesime - the harvest year of the grapes the particular wine is produced of, because each of these years has its own unique taste. Purchasing Burgundy wines is not easy because there are many details that should be taken into consideration - the class of the vineyard, the assessment of the manufacturer, the age of the vines, the quality of the wine as well as the millesime and, of course, the potential of ageing. The sellers play a big role here - they must be truly passionate about wine and able to offer only the best quality producers with a good reputation. That is exactly the way "Noble Wine" works!
