This grape is a relative of the very mutative Pinot Noir and it gets its name
from the fine white hairs on the underside of the grape leaf which from a
distance resembles baking flour, thus “The Miller” (Meunier in French.)
The Pinot Meunier grape is native to Burgundy and Champagne where it
is used as a valuable blending component of many champagnes, where it
adds fruitiness and softness to these wines. In Mendocino County, we are
able to produce a very elegant still wine that has deep aromas and flavors.
