The wine region of Dealu Mare
Romania's most compact wine massif, south of the Carpathians on the 45th parallel (like Bordeaux). Signature Feteasca Neagra in red: a dense, structured Romanian native with signature notes of ripe plum, blackberry, violet, leather, tobacco and sweet spice, round tannins — a national identity. Also Bordeaux blends (firm Cabernet Sauvignon, supple Merlot) and fresh Pinot Noir. Peppery Syrah booming.
The word of the wine: Pinot meunier
Cultivated in the 19th century in all the northern vineyards, this black grape variety has largely regressed since. Very present in the Marne valley, it constitutes a third of the vineyards in Champagne, alongside pinot noir and chardonnay with which it is often blended. It brings roundness and red and yellow fruit aromas to champagnes. Pinot meunier is also the dominant grape variety in red and rosé wines in the Orleans AOC and the rare Touraine-Noble-Joué, a grey wine. Syn.: meunier.
