Details and technical informations about Winery Cigoj's Zelèn.
Discover the grape 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.

The word of the wine: Effervescent
Any wine loaded with CO2 (carbon dioxide), which is revealed in the form of bubbles, reinforcing the freshness effect in the mouth. This gas production is the result of what is called the second fermentation in the bottle. It occurs in champagnes and sparkling wines such as crémants.
