Cave Mont Blanc Morgex - Europe's Highest Vineyards

At 1200m elevation in the Alps shadow, this cooperative guardian of ungrafted Prié Blanc (unchanged since the 1600s) ages 'glacier bubbles' in glacial terroirs where vineyard heroia trumps mechanization.

What to do there

TourCave Mont Blanc Morgex - Europe's Highest VineyardsJust 10 minutes from Courmayeur, Cave Mont Blanc's cooperative brings together 70 mountain winegrowing families cultivating Europe's highest vineyards at 900-1,200m. These Prié Blanc vines are ungrafted—over 100 years old on their original roots because phylloxera can't survive above 900m altitude. Taste the Blanc de Morgex still white, the sparkling version, and (if you're lucky) the legendary Cuvée des Guides glacier-aged at 2,590m. Ask to walk the terraced vineyards and touch vines that are genetically identical to pre-1860s European vines.
