The Domaine l’Ange Gardien winery, a dream come true !
In 2003, two friends, Jean-Louis Crête and Daniel Desjardins planned to start a vineyard to make their long-time dream a reality. Looking for an appropriate location to grow vines in the Quebec City area, they came to settle in L'Ange-Gardien on the Côte-de-Beaupré.
In 2006 they were joined by Bruno Fortin and Denis Morrissette, who were also enthusiastic about the venture. The picture shows the four owners (from left to right : Bruno Fortin, Jean-Louis Crête, Denis Morrissette, Daniel Desjardins).
The first vines were planted in 2004 and were added to over the next two years.
In the spring of 2010, the Domaine purchased a neighbouring vineyard, moulin Petit-Pré, situated in Château-Richer. This purchase increased our production capacity by approximately 10 000 vines.
Today the property boasts approximately 20,000 vines, 600 apple trees and 600 cherry trees.
