Mondeuse, a red grape variety from Savoie - Cave de Cruet

Mondeuse is a typical Savoyard red grape variety, late-ripening, hardy, and productive. Its grapes are purple-red in color. Its juicy flesh with tangy flavors of morello cherry, blackcurrant, prune, and spices gives this red wine a flavorful and vigorous character whose aromas develop over the years.

A terroir wine with ageing potential (notably AOP Arbin and AOP St Jean de La Porte), Mondeuse is the ideal accompaniment to meat, charcuterie and cheese.
This light wine (between 11.5° and 12°) will see its aromas intensified by a strong cheese such as Tomme, a raclette with country ham or Diots de Savoie.
