Blanc du Blanc 2020 Cave Mont Blanc

Blanc du Blanc 2020

Designation: Vallée d’Aoste D.O.C. Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle Metodo Classico Brut

Heroic vineyards and pure alpine grapes

Blanc du Blanc 2020 comes from heroic vineyards between 900 and 1,200 meters, where the ungrafted Prié Blanc grows in an extreme alpine climate. The mountain terraces at the foot of Mont Blanc give life to fresh, mineral grapes that fully express this unique terroir.

Classic Method and barrique aging

In the cellar, Blanc du Blanc 2020 follows the Metodo Classico Brut: the first fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve freshness, followed by a short aging in barrique to enhance complexity and elegance. The wine then undergoes traditional bottle refermentation and rests 24 months on the lees, creating fine, persistent bubbles.

Tasting notes

Color: pale straw yellow with greenish hues and fine, persistent bubbles. Nose: fine, intense, floral and fruity. Palate: good persistence and excellent balance, reflecting the alpine territory.

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.
