Molette is a white French wine grape planted primarily in the Savoie region. As a varietal wine, Molette tends to produce neutral tasting wine so it is often blended with Roussette to add more complexity.[1]
DNA analysis has revealed Molette to be a cross between Gouais Blanc and an unidentified grape variety.[2]
Molette is also known under the synonyms Molette Blanche and Molette de Seyssel.[2]
Molette is also used as a synonym for Mondeuse Blanche and Mondeuse Noire. Furthermore, Molette Noire is a synonym of Mondeuse Noire and Molette de Montmelian is a synonym of Jacquère.
