π Mondeuse Noire
A red grape from Savoie in France.
Mondeuse Noire is a red grape from Savoie in eastern France. It is an Alpine area near the border with Italy and Switzerland.
The variety makes dark wine with high acidity, firm tannins and a spicy aroma of pepper, blueberry and violet. Young wine is sharp but softens with time. It makes red wines of Savoie and of neighbouring Bugey. It remains one of the main red grapes of this area.
Mondeuse Noire is in the list of grape varieties and tied to French wine. It shows that France has not only famous regions like Bordeaux and Burgundy but also little-known mountain areas with their own character. The variety is little known outside France, so its wines are often a discovery for enthusiasts. Such wines are served with cheeses, sausages and dishes of mountain cuisine.
