This fussy grape\u00a0makes a popular red wine and originates from <strong><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wine-region\/burgundy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Burgundy, France<\/a><\/strong>. A French designation, the word\u00a0<strong>\u201cPinot\u201d translates to \u201cPine,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0as a reference to the way the grapes cluster together on the vine, similar to a pinecone.\u00a0<strong>\u201cNoir,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0also French,\u00a0<strong>translates to \u201cblack\u201d<\/strong>, referring to the color of the dark, thin-skinned grape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IN THIS GUIDE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#taste\">Taste<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#pairings\">Pairings<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#terroir\">Terroir<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#aging\">Aging<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#recommendations\">Wine Recommendations<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8230;and more<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We can trace the drinking of Pinot Noir wines back to sometime\u00a0during the\u00a0first century \u2013 when the ancient Romans recorded drinking it not long after they captured much of the Gaul region \u2013 which is now France.<\/p>\n<p>There is no definitive evidence as to when exactly the grape was first fermented and enjoyed, though needless to say it has been around for a long while.<\/p>\n<p>While Burgundy continues to produce some of the finest Pinot Noir wines in the world, high-quality Pinot Noir\u00a0is grown and made today in\u00a0many cooler climates around the world.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, a recent worldwide tasting has shown that certain <strong><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/destinations\/new-zealand\/\" target=\"_blank\">wine regions within New Zealand<\/a><\/strong> are producing some of the <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/katiebell\/2013\/10\/07\/a-global-tasting-proves-new-zealand-pinot-noir-is-the-worlds-best-value\/\" target=\"_blank\">best value Pinot\u2019s in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While demand for this light red wine has increased dramatically, the grape itself tends to be finicky and relatively difficult to grow. As such, prices for the wine have increased in recent years.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a name=\"taste\"><\/a>What Does Pinot Noir Taste Like? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Typically, younger Pinot Noirs taste less complex, and red fruit notes tend to be the most prominent. As Pinot Noirs age, their complexity is enhanced, revealing more earthy and smokey mineral notes.<\/p>\n<p>Pinot Noir classically displays bright red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, plum, currant, and pomegranate notes. Warmer climate Pinots tend to lean more towards richer black cherry. Secondary notes typically include gravel, chalk, mushrooms, earth, spice, and light oak.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a name=\"pairings\"><\/a>Pinot Noir Food Pairings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For many, Pinot Noir is an any-occasion wine. It\u2019s light enough that it can be enjoyed throughout the summer months and can be paired with almost any fish. Pinot Noir is also diverse enough in flavor that it works well with some meats and cheeses.<\/p>\n<p>Pinot works beautifully with classic French dishes like cassoulet or soupe \u00e0 l\u2019oignon gratinee. Lighter Pinots can also work with salade Ni\u00e7oise.<\/p>\n<p>Pinots pair well with heavier fatty, oily fish, like salmon and sardines as well as aged cheddar and gouda. It\u2019s become a favorite for holiday meals with roasted turkey or ham along with the many side dishes like roasted vegetables and gravies.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a name=\"terroir\"><\/a>Climate and Terroir for Pinot Noir<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A red, fickle grape, originating and made famous in Burgundy, France, Pinot Noir is now grown in many countries around the world. In fact, Burgundy almost exclusively grows Pinot Noir as its sole red wine grape variety. Needless to say, they\u2019ve gotten pretty good at it over the years!<\/p>\n<p>Pinot Noir vines require soil that is both aerated and drains well for optimal growth. These vines are typically rooted in soil with high concentrations of gravel, chalk, and\/or clay. Climate-wise, the vine needs warm (but not hot) sun-filled days and crisp cool evenings with minimal weather variation before harvesting.<\/p>\n<p>The grape itself has a thin skin (hence low tannins), which unfortunately makes it easily susceptible to disease and rot. All things considered, winemakers must watch their crops closely. Even the most experienced Pinot Noir winemakers can have trouble growing this variety, though some terroirs make for easier cultivation than others.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/oregon\/willamette-valley-itinerary\/\" target=\"_blank\">Taste Pinot Noir in Oregon&#8217;s Willamette Valley, Which is on Burgundy&#8217;s Parallel<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong><a name=\"aging\"><\/a>How is Pinot Noir Aged? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Due to the high acid, Pinots can age for many years, particularly when from cooler climates like Burgundy.
