The grapes
Pinot Meunier
Best known in Champagne, England
One of the three main grapes of Champagne, alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It adds fruit, softness and early approachability to the blend. Increasingly made into still and sparkling wines in its own right, including in England.
Pinot Noir
Best known in Burgundy, Oregon, New Zealand
The great red grape of Burgundy. Cherry, raspberry, earthy and floral notes, with silky tannins and fresh acidity. Notoriously hard to grow well, but capable of extraordinary elegance, and a key grape in Champagne and English sparkling wine.
Where it's from
Champagne
France
The world's greatest sparkling wine region, by some distance. Chalk soils, cool climate and centuries of expertise combine to create wines of extraordinary finesse and complexity. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier in various combinations; from the non-vintage everyday to the prestige cuvée extraordinary.
