About The Producer:

Cave Mont Blanc from the Blanc de Morgex et La Salle is a cooperative that was formed in 1983. They produce white wine from Aosta’s only indigenous, white grape, Prie Blanc. 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. Cave Mont Blanc believes in a philosophy of strict non-interventionist, natural wine production, always respecting the terroir and the traditions and culture of the territory.

Impressions:

A rare sparkling treat, from this obscure varietal normally produced as a dry white. Enticing aromas of lime zest, lemongrass, elderflower and a touch of chalk greet the nose. A fresh acidity awakens the palate and introduces compact bubbles that form a frothy mousse. Its juicy profile descends towards a bone dry finish with impressions of citrus fruit, and wild herbs. Delightful from start to finish.
