Pinot Meunier

Pinot Meunier, often simply called Meunier, is one of the three fundamental grapes in Champagne production, valued for its rusticity and ability to provide body to blends. Its name comes from the white down on the leaves, resembling flour (meunier means miller). This red grape produces light-colored wines with vibrant fresh red fruit aromas and a hint of bread. In Champagne, Pinot Meunier brings roundness and a fruity freshness that makes the wines more approachable from a young age, serving as an essential pillar in the harmony of the world’s most prestigious sparkling wines.
