Pinot Meunier vs Pinot Noir- Whats the difference?

from American Wine Rebel Show · host American Wine Rebel

You’ve probably never heard of Pinot Meunier… but if you’ve ever had Champagne, you’ve definitely tasted it. Pinot Meunier is one of the three main grapes used in Champagne, alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, yet it rarely gets the spotlight. In this video, we're breaking down what Pinot Meunier actually is and why it's about time it gets some of its own attention. We’ll talk about how Pinot Meunier is being used in both France and the United States, including tasting a bottle from Eyrie Vineyards in Oregon, one of the pioneers of American Pinot Meunier. The truth is, some of the most important grapes in wine are the ones nobody talks about.
