Parigot & Richard "Quartier Libre" Aligoté Crémant de Bourgogne Extra Brut NV

The NV Parigot & Richard "Quartier Libre" Extra Brut is a fresh and lively sparkling wine of 100% Aligoté made in the Traditional Champagne Method. With aromas of crisp green apple, citrus peel, and subtle floral notes, the palate is bright and vibrant, showcasing flavors of ripe lemon, white peach and a touch of almond. The mousse is fine and persistent, with a lively acidity that leads to a clean, mineral-driven finish with a hint of toastiness from extended lees aging.

Pressed pneumatically with whole clusters, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, no fining, no filtration. The liqueur de tirage and liqueur d'expédition are homemade and made with base wine and cane sugar. Riddled by hand. Aged 18 months on lees. Disgorged at least 60 days before release. About 4 g/L dosage.

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