Grape variety Pinot Noir

The grape variety Pinot Noir is one of the oldest grape varieties in the world. Pinot Noir has a two-thousand-year-old history and originates from Burgundy in France. The grape variety is mostly grown there on very mineral-rich soils.

Due to the high complexity in producing excellent Pinot Noir wines, this grape variety has made a big name for itself in recent years. Meanwhile, Pinot Noir enjoys high international demand. The grape variety is now grown in various countries such as South Africa, Australia, Spain, and also in Germany. In Germany, the grape variety Pinot Noir is often referred to as Spätburgunder or Blauburgunder.

The grape variety Pinot Noir has gained great fame especially through its use, alongside the grape varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, in Champagne production.

Although the grape variety Pinot Noir is not among the strongest red wine grape varieties, it is characterized by a complex flavor profile and elegant complexity. The color profile usually shows somewhat lighter red tones.

The aromas of Pinot Noir range from strawberry through plum to cherry and can also show intense, spicy notes like pepper and herbs from wine to wine.
