Marve

Mondeuse Noire is a red wine grape that is grown primarily in the Savoy region of France. The grape can also be found in Argentina, Australia, California and Sicily. The grape was hit hard during the phylloxera epidemic of the 19th century which nearly wiped out the vine from eastern France. In Savoie the grape is used in blending with Gamay, Pinot Noir and Poulsard where it contributes its dark color and high acid levels to the wine that allow the wines to age well.
