More informations about the variety Pinot Meunier
Vinified almost exclusively as a base for Champagne AOC, where it brings freshness, fruitiness and immediate roundness to blends (apple, pear, red fruit, brioche notes); it is the most approachable young of the three Champagne varieties. Represents about one third of plantings, the absolute signature of the Vallée de la Marne. Also vinified as single varietal by some growers (blanc-de-noirs meunier champagnes). A cottony-leaved mutation of Pinot Noir, autochthonous to Champagne.
