A breath of fresh air!

After France, where it will be another complicated year, Spain wasn't spared with frost in May. Our winemakers are creative and have well located plots, so the damage was limited. We'll see what the summer brings.

The recovery in the restaurant business remains slow in many countries, making it difficult for artisan winemaker to manage inventory...and cash flow. Small independent wineries are suffering greatly from this situation.

On our side, last year was busy with an increase in sales volume of more than 30%... but this year looks difficult because of the moratorium on orders imposed by the SAQ. As of today, we still have not ordered any rosé. We will be able to do so as of July 5th, so no rosé before the end of the summer. It will be worth the wait.

There are less than 5 cases left of several wines, so don't wait.

Delivery Service

With the COVID-19 crisis subsiding, SAQ branches are operating almost normally. In addition, the order management system is more efficient than ever with shorter delivery times.

In this context, we have decided to interrupt our delivery service.
