Chasing History on Montorge – Domaine du Mont d’Or
Laid end to end, the dry stone walls on the hill of Montorge would run for about fifteen kilometres. They hold up 220 terraces and 24 hectares of vineyard on a slope that, in places, reaches a gradient of 75 per cent. Few people would attempt to build something like that today. In 1848, somebody did. The post Chasing History on Montorge – Domaine du Mont d’Or appeared first on Great Wine Capitals .
