Pinot Meunier
Pinot Meunier is a black grape variety originating in France. It is a mutation of Pinot Noir, and its name, Meunier (meaning "miller" in French), comes from the powdery white appearance of the fine hairs on its buds and leaves, resembling flour. The German name Müllerrebe carries the same meaning, combining Müller (miller) with Rebe (vine). In France, Pinot Meunier is primarily cultivated in the Champagne region.
