Definition: Mont d'Or (estate)

In the^mid-19th century, more precisely in 1848, the Domaine du Mont d'Or was founded by François-Eugène Masson. Over the centuries, its development has made it one of the most impressive estates in Valais, covering more than 20 hectares and now comprising 220 terraces of vines, each planted with a grape variety chosen according to its altitude and exposure. Fifteen kilometres of dry stone walls and numerous sentry boxes make up the architecture of this unique vineyard.
