Without any doubt this web site has been build to present Le Domaine des Côtes d'Ardoise and its products, but also to make you share with us our passion for vine growing and wine making with grapes produced in our own terroir.

In Québec, modern vine growing is a brand new adventure that many were considering foolish and doomed to failure in 1980 and are still of that opinion now. Future will tell us if they were right.

We want to thank all those who, in the past 23 years, have worked for a short as well as a long period of time at the Domaine , thus contributing in the making of The Domaine as it exists now.

Our gratitude goes also to all those who, since the very beginning, have encouraged us by visiting us regularly and by buying our products. They have stimulated us to perfect our expertise and improve the quality of our production.
To all these people we pledge to do even better and never stop surprising them in the future.

We are asking all those who do not know the Domaine, to approach our products, as well as those of others Québec vineyards, without favourable or unfavourable prejudice, as if those products were from somewhere else. This is the way we like our products to be judged and assessed.

Bonne visite

Have a enjoyable visit

Jacques Papillon
