Les vendanges de 1925 au Domaine du Mont d'Or

Historical and pioneer

Founded in 1848, Domaine du Mont d'Or is the oldest wine estate in Valais still in activity. The evolution of modern viticulture in the Old Country is intertwined with the history of this essential area.

Several grape varieties were imported in the 19th century by the estate. The most important of these is undoubtedly the Sylvaner. Today the leading white specialty in Valais, it is known under the name Johannisberg.

This name, protected in Valais since 1966, is only used today for pure Sylvaners. It refers to the famous Schloss Johannisberg, one of the most famous German estates, located on the banks of the Rhine.

An ideal setting

Topped with the ruins of a 13th century castle, the hill of Montorge, at the gates of Sion, is a protected natural site of national importance. On its southern flank, hot and dry, is the Domaine du Mont d'Or.

The twenty-four hectares of vines, certified organic, are spread over two hundred and twenty terraces, dotted with sparkling gatehouses and supported by nearly fifteen kilometers of traditional dry stone walls.

This magnificent arrangement, witness to the know-how of ancient times, is a real tour de force, in order to tame this harsh terroir and produce great wines. A place apart, which requires heroic viticulture.

Terroirs, grape varieties and styles

Terroirs, grape varieties and styles

Each terrace is devoted to a grape variety, depending on its altitude, its exposure and the composition of its soil. In addition to the estate's king grape variety, Johannisberg, there are a dozen varieties at Mont d'Or.

Certain plots, harvested late, produce sweet white wines that are renowned and regularly rewarded. Johannisberg Saint-Martin is also a member of the prestigious Memory of Swiss Wines.

The different vintages benefit from know-how spanning more than one hundred and fifty years, combined with contemporary oenological techniques. The majority of wines are matured in barrels in the estate's historic cellars.

Since the creation of the estate, the wines have gleaned a number of awards. At the end of the 19th century, the label of the Johannisberg Mont d'Or displayed, among other things, the gold medal received at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1878.

More recently, the Cornalin Vieux Cachet obtained the best score ever achieved by a red at the 2019 Vinalies Internationales, while the Petite Arvine ''Sous l'Escalier'' won the sweet wine trophy.
