The vineyard was established in 1991 with the first vines white Seyval, followed in 1992 by planting Chardonnay imported from France. Acquired by the present owners in spring 2000, the vineyard is now composed mainly of chardonnay, white Seyval, Marshal Foch, Frontenac and zweigelt of over 3 hectares. Owners follow the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture since 2005.
The vineyard is situated on a sandy soil with good natural drainage.

The slope is slightly to the south-east, which helps a sunny and cold air during the freezing nights drainage. One can also enjoy a magnificent view of the start of the Appalachian Mountains.
Véronique Hupin and Michael Marler were given the mission to produce wines of great quality while using innovative and traditional methods in both the fields in the cellar.
Michael Marler studied agriculture at the University of McGill with an exchange at the École Supérieure d'Agriculture de Purpan in the south of France, which arose his passion and knowledge for the vine and wine.
Véronique Hupin, both passionate by the business, focused on the marketing and financial aspects in picking up an MBA from HEC Montreal.
Owners, after extensive research worldwide, decided to move back to Quebec to realize their dreams and ambition, having realized that the climate, both economic and wine was right. Meet them!
