Pinot Teinturier

Pinot Teinturier is a red grape variety from France, a mutation of Pinot Noir. Discovered in the late 19th century by Jean Guicherd in Nuits-Saint-Georges, it is known for its reddish juice despite not being classified as a Teinturier grape. It shares the same DNA profile as Pinot Noir but with slight morphological differences. Synonyms include Farbclevner and Pinot Fin Teinturier.

The variety is known for its deep color, though it is not typically used for color extraction. Aromas and flavors are similar to Pinot Noir, though specific details are less documented.

Pinot Teinturier was discovered in the Côte d'Or region, notably in Nuits-Saint-Georges, and has also been found in Morey-Saint-Denis and Vosne-Romanée.

Despite its reddish grape juice, Pinot Teinturier is not classified as a Teinturier, a variety typically known for its ability to impart color to wine.
