No. 49. PiMEAU NoiR — black. Produces rather more 

 plentifully than the preceding, but still indiffer- 

 ently. This and the above are the only varieties

 yards of celebrity, and this is alone used in making 

 the best red wine of Burgundy.

 well known. This variety and the following,

 very productive. The Coulanges yields a very
