About
Parigot Crémant Extra Brut "Prophète" is a remarkably dry sparkling wine, crafted from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, sourced from the prestigious vineyards of Burgundy, France. This Crémant de Bourgogne, known for its Extra Brut classification, undergoes meticulous vinification to achieve a lower residual sugar content, emphasizing the natural acidity and complexity of its Burgundian terroir. "Prophète" stands as a testament to Parigot's expertise in producing exceptional sparkling wines that rival the quality and finesse of traditional Champagne, offering a unique expression of Burgundy's sparkling wine tradition.
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.

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!
