Cave Mont Blanc

Founded in 1983, the cooperative Cave Mont Blanc de Morgex et La Salle brings together around 80 small artisan winegrowers, growing about 18–30 ha of vines of Prié Blanc, the only indigenous white grape variety of the Aosta Valley.

The vineyards

The vineyards are among the highest in Europe, lying between 900 and 1 200 m above sea level, still grown on their own roots to preserve the authenticity and health of the plants.
The cooperative follows a “non-interventionist” winemaking approach: fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, with no fining or stabilisation – wines with pure, fresh and mineral aromas.

Grape Varieties and Terroir

The only grape variety grown is Prié Blanc (Blanc de Morgex et La Salle), indigenous to the upper valley, with late budding and an early harvest, perfect for the alpine climate.
The terraced vineyards and low pergolas make the most of the warmth of the soil and the shelter from the wind, typical of the extreme altitudes of the Aosta Valley.
