about the winemakers
Lieux Communs is an urban winery in Montreal.
They produce wine from fruit grown in Quebec and Ontario on the northern limits of viticulture. Old school, natural techniques and aesthetics. Hybrid grapes and budding young vineyards.
Natural fermentation and often very quickly, slowed only by the cold autumns and winters. The resulting wines are pure, lively, both intriguing and joyous.
