The grape variety Pinot Noir is part of the Burgundy family. It is likely one of the earliest varieties selected from wild vines in West-Central Europe. Charles the Fat brought the variety to Lake Constance in 884. It was planted in the Rheingau in the 13th century. In the 16th century, it was probably also found in the Palatinate. The variety is said to have been brought from Burgundy to the Ahr in the 18th century. The variety experienced a boom 150 years ago with the expansion of sparkling wine production, for which pure Burgundy vineyards were established. The terms “Pinot Noir” and in parts of Baden “Klevner” are used synonymously.
