Description:
What is it? Pinot Meunier (PEE-noh mun-YAY) is a close relative to Pinot Noir and was identified as such before the 16th century. Based on recent DNA “fingerprinting”, an early Pinot vine (maybe Pinot More?) and a vine called “Gouais Blanc” are the parents of Pinot Meunier and fifteen other Gallic varieties, including Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The name “Meunier” is a French word meaning “the miller”. This term is given to Pinot Meunier due to the distinctive, flour-dusted appearance on its leaves.
