The winemaker

History


Domaine Parigot has a rather singular history. In the 1950s, a winemaker named Georges Parigot operated a small area of vineyards. He managed to acquire a tractor-trampler, which was very rare during that period, to facilitate his work. With an increased efficiency, he managed to extend the surface of the domain very quickly.

In 1959, he bought his first parcel in Pommard and started to vinify his own wines. He also realized the first sales of his bottles and consequently developed the marketing. In 1968, his son Régis joined him in the wine-making adventure and together they acquired another parcel located in Pommard in the place called "Les Vignots".

The purchases follow one another 10 years later with new parcels: Pommard "Les Charmots", Meursault "Les Vireuils" (1979), Beau 1er Cru "Les Grèves" (1982). With this expansion came the move of the winery to the entrance of the village of Meloisey, in the heart of the Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune. They took the opportunity to install a modern winery for wine production, in line with their objectives.

In 1990, the wines of the region are more and more represented on the shelves of merchants, especially foreign. Several exporters were knocking on Domaine Parigot's door in the hope of selling its wines abroad. Because of these new markets, father and son acquired new parcels: Pommard "Les Epenots" (1994), Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Clos-Saint-Jean" (1996) and Pommard 1er Cru "Clos de la Chaniere" (1999).

The third generation


In 2004, the third generation arrived with Alexandre, Régis' son. With the same passion as his predecessors, he cultivates the vineyard with the sole objective of pushing the quality a little further with each vintage. Alexandre will say that honesty, rigor and passion have been transmitted to him by his parents.

It is with this vision that he brings his touch on the domain of 18 hectares today, after the purchase in 2005 of two new parcels of Meursault and Pommard. The domain has then built up a strong reputation in the following appellations: Pommard, Meursault, Volnay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Savigny-les-Beaune and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Alexandre takes the wines to the next level each year by revealing the potential of the chardonnay (3 hectares) and pinot noir (15 hectares) through his vintages.

These will go all over the world to be tasted, that's how 120 000 bottles are sold to wine shops, restaurants and foreign importers. In these bottles is a story but also a laborious work in the vineyards throughout the year. The vines, which are cultivated using sustainable viticulture methods, are carefully tended to by Alexandre Parigot.
