Pinot Meunier strain, and climateFrom

a technical point of view, Pinot Meunier is a clonal mutation of Pinot Noir, so they share DNA with each other, but at the same time they are very different from each other. First of all, it looks completely different. It's very easy to identify Pinot Meunier bushes because the medium-sized leaves have a silvery sheen, which comes from the fine hairs covering their surface. The name Meunier itself is derived from the French word meaning "miller," because the leaves look as if they have been sprinkled with flour. Often in Champagne you can hear the name Meunier interchangeably with Pinot Meunier.

Although Pinot Meunier has been playing the role of "actor" of the third plan for years, performing the task of supporting other varieties that receive mainstream fame and praise. It is a very important component of the recipe for some of the world's most famous champagnes. In addition, it is a reliable variety, and can boldly grow where there were no vines before. Its superpower is that it fits in places where it's too cold for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and because it ripens earlier, it can be a grape "policy" for winemakers during heavy vintages. It also has fewer soil requirements than Pinot Noir, liking sandy and loamy soils

.Characteristics of the Pinot Meunier grapePinot

Meunier blended with other grapes helps soften the wine. On its own, it has many similar flavors and aromas to its sibling Pinot Noir. Instead, it has significantly higher acidity, a noticeable touch of citrus, red fruit and spice, but is lighter, with a less earthy profile. It can also exhibit faint cigar smoke aromas. Surprisingly, for such a widespread grape, it is rarely bottled as a uniform variety. Pinot Meunier imparts aromatic and fruity flavors and color to the wine. Champagnes with a significant Pinot Meunier content usually do not have as much aging potential as champagnes that consist mainly of Chardonnay or Pinot Noir. Therefore, it is most often used for Champagnes that are intended to be consumed young.

Pinot Meunier is widespread throughout Champagne and accounts for about 40% of the plantings there. In contrast, 80% of the world's Pinot Meunier production is grown in the Vallée de la Marne in Champagne. Since it is actually a mutation of Pinot Noir, it is often debated whether it should be considered a variety in its own right, still under consideration. Outside of Champagne, small plantings appear in the nearby Loire Valley, where it is most often blended to make sparkling wines.

Outside of France, Pinot Meunier can be found in Germany, where it is known both as Müllerrebe ("müller" means miller, so it is also a reference to the distinctive leaves) or Schawrzriesling. The latter is confusing, as it means "black Riesling," but is not related to Riesling at all. In Europe, Pinot Meunier can also be found in Austria and Switzerland

.Pairing Pinot Meunier with a mealPinot

Meunier pairs perfectly with poultry - for example, roast chicken, duck or turkey also with grilled pork. In the case of vegetarian dishes, it finds a good match with mushroom-based dishes.It goes well with expressive fish, such as tuna and salmon, as well as Middle Eastern dishes.
