Grape Varieties: Pinot Noir
About:
Pinot Noir is a grape that has been crucial to the UK, with it being one of the holy trinity of traditional method “Champagne” grapes alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.

Pinot Noir is the 10th most planted grape in the world (source: Wine Folly) and the second most grown grape variety in England.
