Slake your THIRST for Pinot Meunier!
Despite being an integral part of Champagne's total production (more than 40% of the vines planted), Pinot Meunier was traditionally overlooked in the region in favor of the more popular and famous Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
That is changing, however - today many independent growers are experimenting with 100% Meunier cuvées and there is a newfound appreciation for the grape throughout Champagne.
Daniel Johnnes, Edouard Bourgeois, and Raj Vaidya will lead the discussion.
We encourage participants to open one of the featured wines below or a Meunier-based Champagne of their choice to share their impressions with the audience.
