Pinot meunier

Pinot meunier It is one of the red wine grape varieties that is mainly grown in the Champagne region of France and is used to make Champagne.

The three grape varieties used to make Champagne are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.

The underside of these grape leaves has white hairs that look like white powder, which is why the grape was given the name "Meunier", which means "miller" in French.

Wines made from Pinot Meunier have aromas of cherries and strawberries, a soft fruitiness, and a gentle, mild flavor.

The variety is also grown in Germany, but it is more often made as a still wine rather than a sparkling wine.

There are also a few producers in New Zealand who grow Pinot Meunier.
