Pinot Meunier 2024

Pinot Meunier is traditionally grown in the Champagne region of France, though it is also cultivated in other cool-climate wine regions. The Ancient Oak brand sources its grapes from carefully selected vineyards known for producing high-quality Pinot Meunier grapes.

Pinot Meunier is a black grape variety belonging to the Pinot family. It is known for its early ripening and is often used in blends, especially in Champagne production, but also produces distinctive varietal wines with fruity and floral characteristics.

The production of Ancient Oak Pinot Meunier involves careful hand-harvesting of the grapes at optimal ripeness. The grapes undergo gentle crushing and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit aromas. Aging is typically done in oak barrels to enhance complexity and add subtle oak nuances.
