Domaine du Clos de l'Isle

Domaine du Clos de l'Isle grows grapes at Bécancour (Sainte-Angèle-de-Laval sector), Quebec. It dates its founding to 2004.

Where it sits

Domaine du Clos de l'Isle is at Bécancour (Sainte-Angèle-de-Laval sector) in Quebec. Quebec has no geographic appellations in the way Ontario and British Columbia do: the province recognises just two reserved wine appellations, Vin du Québec and Vin de glace du Québec, and both are certifications a producer opts into rather than places on a map. We have no record that this winery holds either. How appellation systems differ across the country is covered on the Canadian wineries page.

What it grows

The winery works with Pinot Noir, Louise Swenson, St-Pépin, Geisenheim and La Crescent.

Where a grape has a page here, it covers how that variety behaves in Canadian conditions: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches, and where it is planted.

Vineyard area: 11,000 vines, 12,000 bottles a year.

Visiting

open for tastings, summer hours 10:00–17:00 Sunday to Saturday; guided tours for groups of 10 or more; terrace overlooking the St Lawrence

Also in Quebec: Domaine du Nival, Domaine du Ridge. The full list is on the Quebec page.
