The Vignoble de l’Orpailleur launches a new line of wines

l’Orpailleur, Cuvée signature, now available at the Vineyard

Always keen to perfect and offer a wide variety of Québec wines to its adepts, the Orpailleur Vineyard is launching a new range of single varietal wines. Developed from new varieties, these wines are part of the Cuvée signature, a new line of wines offered by the Vineyard well known to Quebecers.

Charles-Henri de Coussergues, vintner and co-owner of the Route des vins Brome-Missisquoi, explains the arrival of these wines. “After years of sharpening our know-how, given the increasingly favourable temperatures and the quality of the soil, we wanted to expand our range of grape varieties and offer Quebecers a limited and very personal vintages, for the pleasure of sharing and discovery.”

3 new wines and more to come

To start, the Orpailleur Cuvée signature has a 2017 Chardonnay, a 2017 Cabernet Franc (both are aged in oak barrels for one year) and a Gewurztraminer 2018. There are respectively 2,500, 300 and 1,000 bottles of available for these three wines. Other wines will be added to these varieties over the coming years.

The three wines of the Cuvée signature are offered only at the Vineyard at $ 28 (tax included), as well as in some gourmet grocery stores. Even tastings of these wines will be very limited.

Be aware, these wines are very slightly filtered and may contain… a lot of love.

Cuvée Signature / These wines are the fruit of the work of our hands, and the heart we put in it. The Orpailleur Cuvée signature is imprinted with a very personal note, which we share with you, as a secret. It evokes the common passion for the quest for the best. This search begun in 1982 and still going on. It is our signature. This great reward for the passing of time and this wonderful human adventure, we offer to you, for the pleasure of sharing and discovery.
