Light gold color, but shiny and youthful. Nose of candied lemon, salty and light oak notes with just a touch of caramel, all in a subtle and elegant way. Bright tension on the palate due to its good acidity level without being razor sharp, this wine last a good moment in a round finish where the well integrated oak plays the support role. The flavors are the same as seen on the nose. This wine feels young, but it’s so tasty now. What is even more great is the fact that this wine is produced only 45 minutes away from my place, and it’s just amazing. Great future for that Estate! Excellent (91)

Made of Vidal grapes. Aged 9 months on its lees in old neutral oak barrels. Alcohol level of 10,6%

Was sold at the winery, in private import and in few selected location, but it’s all gone. Was 23,00$

Dark ruby color with purple hue. Nose of small berries, earth, spices, straw, blooming of freshness. Good concentration on the palate paired with a good acidity level. Flavors of sour fruit, spices, it’s juicy and chewy, has some depth and is simply quite tasty and joyful. Glad I could have that wine with its very limited production. Very good+ (90)

Made of Pinot Noir (60%), Dornfelder (30%) and Pinot Meunier (10%). Natural winemaking. The Pinots were aged in 5 y/o barrels and in Dame Jeanne for the Dornfelder. Alcohol level of 10,2%. The label is drawn by the visual artist Marc Seguin

This is no more available, But I’ll be waiting for their next wine release! If you’re lucky, there might be some restaurants in Montréal that have this wine on their list…

Lightly colored. Shy nose where some salty, lemon and hay notes did showed up in a very fresh way. More expressive on the palate with lemon zest flavors paired with a round and almost fat mouthfeel, then the acidity came on the finish on salty and mineral notes. Great wine from Québec! Very good (89)
