"Pioneering a bright-eyed wine crusade within the extreme terroir of Quebéc, Frédéric Simon and his wife Catherine Bélanger tend to their 1.5ha winery with resolute sincerity and an evolving sense of place.

Discovery drives the work that they do here, with relatively new plantings of vitis vinifera such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Dornfelder, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Savagnin (uncommon to the area due to arduous growing conditions). All vines are tended to organically, with minimal alterations in the cellar, leading Frédéric to a series of challenges to consider when combating the extreme cold of winter and inevitable frosts of spring." — Zev Rovine

From the producer

"80% maceration of 48 hours and blended at 20% of a longer maceration of 30 days. Soft pressing, natural fermentation and aging on lees in stainless steel vats. Bottling without fining or filtration. No sulfur added. 

Rosé of thirst with a dangerous drinkability! Exhilarating wine with a very lively personality, this vintage on a more sustained rosé is more greedy than the previous ones."
