grape varieties (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier)

Grape varieties are specific types of grapes used to produce wine, each with unique flavors and characteristics. Chardonnay is a versatile white grape known for its wide-ranging profiles, from crisp and citrusy to rich and buttery, depending on where and how it's grown. Pinot Noir is a red grape valued for producing elegant, fragrant wines with cherry, strawberry, and earthy notes. Pinot Meunier is another red grape, often used in Champagne, producing soft, fruity wines with a slightly rustic character. Each variety influences the wine's taste, aroma, and mouthfeel, making them distinct and suited to different winemaking styles.
