Pinot Blanc

A white grape member of the Pinot family, whose other members include Pinot Grigio (also white), Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (both red), this grape is often found interspersed among Chardonnay in the vineyards of Burgundy, but is most popular in Alsace. In North America, California boasts several top producers of Pinot Blanc, though the grape is not widely grown. Pinot Blanc often has flavours similar to Chardonnay, though the wine is generally lighter in body and somewhat more delicate.
