 References to Mondeuse usually are to Mondeuse noire rather than to Mondeuse blanche.Mondeuse noire does have a pink-berried color mutant, "Mondeuse grise", which was on the verge of extinction until ampelographer Pierre Galet was able to identify vines and have cuttings planted at the Domaine de Vassal conservation vineyard in Montpellier run by the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA).In Savoie, Mondeuse noire 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.
