Pinot Meunier Wines

Perhaps marginally baked and perhaps lacking its usual elegance, this delicate, floral and faintly herbal red has a musky bouquet of liqueur cherries, berries, cinnamon, dried herbs and baked earth. It's forward, warm and punchy, with a ripeness a...

Complex and savoury, with a very floral, meaty and rather reductive bouquet that steadily opens to reveal scents of blue flowers, plums, blueberries, cloves and cinnamon, plus rustic suggestions of horse hair, dried herbs and tomato stalk. It's sm...

Light, bright, clear crimson-purple; a very good attempt at table wine with this variety; spicy, savoury nuances do not come over the top of the red fruits (cherry, strawberry and raspberry) at its core.

Rather raw and minty, with ripe, porty, currant-like aromas backed by nuances of menthol and cherry stones. It's very ripe, firm and drying, with cherry and redcurrant flavours backed by hints of menthol, finishing moderately long and slightly sou...

Nutty notes to the nose and a crisp apple and pear palate with good complexity and mouthfeel.

Bright, well-balanced wine with candy-sweet nose and long, crisp, savoury palate.

Very sappy, spicy, savoury style, but has length and presence, and is strongly varietal.

Bright, light purple-red; clean, fresh, spicy raspberry aromas are followed by a light palate with supple, fine tannins; very well made.

Medium red, bright and clear; the complex, strongly spicy, almost charry bouquet, with dark fruits, leads into a powerful palate that is slightly extractive, and needing to soften, which the variety is prone to do.
