Winery Profile

Cave Mont Blanc de Morgex et La Salle is a cooperative that was formed in 1983. Cave Mont Blanc represents 80 small, artisan, grower members, each too small to produce and bottle their own wine. These farmers combined control a total of 18 hectares, which translates to 90% of all harvested grapes in the prime vineyards between Morgex and La Salle.
They produce white wines from Aosta’s only indigenous, white grape, Prie Blanc.
The temperature and dryness of the air make soil and vine disease scarce allowing the cooperative to use European, non-grafted vines, which results in healthier, longer-lived wines with greater purity and character.
