Pinot Meunier

Pinot Meunier is a type of grape used primarily in champagne production. It’s a variety of Pinot, known for adding richness and fruity flavors to the sparkling wine. The name "Meunier" means "miller" in French, referring to the fine, dust-like white bloom that appears on the grape’s surface. This grape adapts well to various climates and ripens early, making it valuable in blending with other champagne grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Pinot Meunier contributes vibrant fruitiness, softness, and approachability to the final sparkling wine, making it a key component in many high-quality champagnes.
