Pinot Meunier

Pinot Meunier is a red grape variety from the Burgundy family and is best known as one of the three classic Champagne grape varieties. Alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it brings fruit, roundness and early accessibility to many Champagnes.

Typical aromas include red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, apple, fine spice and sometimes slightly floral or earthy notes. Outside Champagne, Pinot Meunier can also be found as a still red wine or rosé, including in Germany under the name Schwarzriesling.

Where does Pinot Meunier come from?

Pinot Meunier comes from France and is closely associated with Champagne. The variety belongs to the Pinot family and is genetically related to Pinot Noir, but shows its own characteristics through its distinctive leaf hairs and growth habit.

Its most important home remains Champagne, especially in cooler or frost-prone sites. Pinot Meunier is also found in Germany as Schwarzriesling, as well as in England, Austria, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand and other cool-climate wine regions.

What Pinot Meunier styles are there?

The best-known style is Pinot Meunier as a component of Champagne and other high-quality sparkling wines. There, the variety contributes fruit, fullness and early drinkability and can appear both in blends and in varietal Blanc de Noirs interpretations.

As a still wine, Pinot Meunier usually produces pale to medium-bodied red wines with red fruit, fine spice and soft tannin. There are also rosés, fresh natural wine styles and, in some regions, particularly elegant, cool-toned red wines with a Burgundian feel.
