The other two are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.  When used to produce wines, the varietal red grapes will produce magenta and ruby colored reds that are somewhat translucent, but not so clear that you can see right through them. The lucid bright color will remind drinkers of younger Beaujolais or even some Pinot Noirs. Pinot Meunier tends to have bouquets of cherries and cranberry along with a strong smell of smoke. This is caused by the actual fruit, which tends to have a natural smoky flavor. Because Pinot Meunier is genetically linked to Pinot Noir, you may get similar aromas. Depending on the amount of oak used in production, you may get a hint of vanilla as well. Red fruits dominate the palate of Pinot Meunier, but this also depends on when and where the Pino Meunier was produced. The red fruits could veer into the riper and darker category, still red, but with a slight bitterness to them. Pinot Meunier features smooth berry flavors like raspberries or strawberries and cream.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"roland-champion-champagne-cuvee-aramis-brut-nv","title":"Roland Champion Champagne Cuvee Aramis Brut NV","description":"\u003cp\u003e24 Hour SaleRoland Champion Champagne Cuvee Aramis Brut is made from 70% Pinot Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay.
