An Alberta based consignor who became interested in wine after travelling through France and Italy in the late 80s and then started to collect in 1991. All the French wine was sourced directly via the liquor store they owned and purchased through the AGLC. Since taking possession the wines have been carefully stored in a professional temperature and humidity-controlled cellar.

Producer notes: Situated on a single piece of land, the vineyard looks like a talior-made garden. Since 2005, most of the work dedicated to its enhancement has involved personalized growing techniques, that are highly respectful of the soils and vines: observation of the parcels; use of well-adapted rootstock when replanting; gentle soil tilling; grassing between the rows with oats or barley; development of deep and spread out roots to simplify soil tilling and to offer a buffer against too much heat or humidity; mechanical soil plowing under each row, in view of eliminating the use of herbicides. Over the past 10 years, careful and natural vine-growing have restored the soil’s microbiological activity and have stimulated the growth of deep roots. At present, the wine indelibly bears the identity of this magic terroir.
