 Here yields are restricted to 60 hl/ha (approximately 3.2 tonnes/acre) for the basic AOC and 55 hl/ha for "cru" classified wine and minimum alcohol levels are 9.5% for basic AOC and 10% for "cru" classified.While rarely used, Mondeuse noire is also permitted in the sparkling "Vin de Savoie Mousseux" or semi-sparkling "Vin de Savoie Pétillant" wines of the region.Like Pinot noir, which is a red wine grape used in Champagne, Mondeuse noire destined for sparkling wine production would be pressed soon after harvest in order to avoid having the white grape juice tinted by the color phenolics in the skins that are usually leached out by the maceration process.
