What is Pinot Meunier
Pinot
Meunier
[muh-NYAY] is a French red grape that is the most widely
cultivated variety in France's champagne region, even though its relative,
pinot noir, and chardonnay get most of the attention. Meunier is used
extensively in the region's sparkling wines, usually blended with these
other two varieties. The name for this grape is French for "miller,"
derived from the fact that the white underside of its leaves looks like
sifted flour. This variety's positive properties include more fruitiness
and higher acidity than Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, an ability to better
survive in the coolest areas of the Champagne region, and higher yields
than Pinot Noir. Australia, which produces limited amounts of 100-percent
Meunier still wine, and Germany are the only other areas to grow Meunier
in any quantity. Meunier is also known as Gris Meunier, Plant Meunier,
Pinot Meunier, Müllerrebe, and Schwarzriesling. Pinot Meunier dates
back to the sixteenth century and has an aromatic nose with a soft fruitiness.
