L'Orpailleur & Union Libre
In 2021, Vignoble de l'Orpailleur acquired Union Libre because we believe in the great potential and future of Quebec viticulture.
A new vineyard? What an adventure!
Union Libre is already steeped in history: we will continue the work accomplished, preserve its terroir, and develop the production of quality wines with unique expressions. This will be done using its own grapes, its own vinification and aging in its cellar, and by welcoming visitors within its walls.
Terroir
Located 170 meters above sea level, the estate sits on one of Dunham's most beautiful hillsides with a 180° view, stretching from the Adirondacks to the south, to the Monteregian Hills to the north.
A thousand-year-old forest history has resulted in soil rich in minerals and organic matter, over a subsoil composed of slate strata.
Our wines
UL vintages come from the domain's vines located on one of Dunham's most beautiful hillsides, where the soil is rich in minerals and slate layers.
Our wines express the unique character of our terroir and are characterized by distinct freshness and minerality. Our hillside vines are cradled throughout the seasons by spectacular sunsets.
