Bjornson Vineyard Pinot Meunier 2024 (750ml) *

Pinot Meunier usually plays a supporting role in Champagne, so seeing it bottled on its own as a still red is the kind of thing that rewards a curious drinker. This 2024 from Bjornson Vineyard shows off the grape as a varietal wine in its own right, and Meunier tends toward the brighter, more aromatic and red-fruited end of the Pinot family, with a lighter frame than its cousin Pinot Noir.
