Domaine du Mont d’Or
The wine history of Valais is closely linked to the Domaine du Mont d'Or, its oldest estate, certified Bio-Bourgeon , symbolizing the challenges of local winegrowers. In the 19th century, several grape varieties, including Johannisberg, were introduced by the estate, paying homage to the Princes of Metternich with a distinctive green capsule. Since 1848, the year marking the birth of contemporary Switzerland, the Domaine du Mont d'Or has celebrated its terroir and perpetuated ancestral know-how. Its wines, true ambassadors of this centuries-old tradition, capture and express the very essence of this rich and authentic wine heritage.
