Pinot Noir is a red wine grape variety that is widely grown in France, including in Burgundy, where it is the dominant grape variety. It is known for producing elegant, complex wines that exhibit flavors of red and black fruits, earth, mushroom, and spice. It is often compared to the Nebbiolo grape variety of Italy. Pinot Noir is also grown in other regions of France, such as the Loire Valley and Alsace, as well as in other countries around the world, including the United States, New Zealand, and Australia.
