Domaine Pelchat Lemaître-Auger

Domaine Pelchat Lemaître-Auger grows grapes at Saint-Joseph-du-Lac, Quebec. It dates its founding to 2009.

Where it sits

Domaine Pelchat Lemaître-Auger is at Saint-Joseph-du-Lac 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 Seyval Blanc, Vidal, Frontenac noir, Sainte-Croix, Seyval noir, Frontenac Gris, Frontenac blanc, Petite Perle and Briana.

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: 4.5 hectares plus 1 more hectare added in 2021; heading toward roughly 60,000 vi.

Visiting

May to October: guided tours, tastings, gourmet moments and seasonal events; on-site shop

Also in Quebec: Domaine ValBrome, Domaine de Lavoie. The full list is on the Quebec page.
