Pinot Meunier is a variety of black wine grape most noted for being one of the three main varieties used in the production of champagne. Until recently, champagne makers generally did not acknowledge Pinot Meunier, preferring to emphasise the use of the other noble varieties, but now Pinot Meunier is gaining recognition for the body and richness it contributes to Champagne. rarely is it seen on its own but it does make some fabulous wines if made correctly a bit like Pinot Noir.
