Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle 2023: Vallée d’Aoste D.O.C.

Vineyard philosophy and grape varieties

Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle 2023 comes from vineyards located between 1,100 and 1,200 meters altitude, where the native grape Prié Blanc piede franco thrives in a unique alpine environment. Cultivation respects nature and the territory, enhancing biodiversity and the distinct mountain terroir. This wine reflects the purity and tradition of heroic viticulture, where man and mountain collaborate to create an authentic and distinctive product.

Winery approach and vinification

The vinification is traditional, carried out in stainless steel at controlled temperature, using indigenous yeasts to preserve the natural characteristics of the grape. Aging for 8 months in steel tanks and 1 month in bottle ensures a fresh wine, ready to express its typical complexity and minerality of the alpine terroir.

Tasting notes

Visually, it shows a straw-yellow color with greenish reflections, bright and inviting. On the nose, it offers a fresh profile with delicate fruity notes. On the palate, it is fresh with clear mineral hints, perfectly balanced and harmonious, telling the story of the mountain it comes from.

Cave Mont Blanc: The Winery at the Foot of Mont Blanc

History

Founded in 1983 from the ashes of the “Association des Viticulteurs,” established thanks to the commitment of Father Don Bougeat and the collaboration of local vignerons, Cave Mont Blanc represents the revival of winemaking in the Aosta Valley at the foot of Mont Blanc. This alpine reality has succeeded in restoring once-abandoned vineyards, strengthening the centuries-old tradition of alpine villages and enhancing a unique territory made of rock, pure waters, and winter frost.

Vineyard Philosophy

The native grape variety, grown between 900 and 1,200 meters altitude on mountain terraces, thrives in heroic conditions requiring deep dedication and full respect for the morphology of the land. Cave Mont Blanc’s vineyard philosophy is based on valuing the alpine terroir, where man and nature coexist in symbiosis, highlighting aromas, nuances, and flavors that tell the poetry and identity of this land.

Winery Approach

Equipped with a technologically advanced facility, the Morgex winery produces about 140,000 bottles annually thanks to the work of about 80 members. The winery’s approach aims to preserve the integrity and uniqueness of the wine through careful vinification techniques that maintain the grape’s aromas and characteristics intact. The balance between tradition and innovation allows the wines to express the culture, tenacity, and elegance of the Aosta Valley mountains.
