Olivier Giroux’s convictions

When the estate was purchased in 2002, it revealed a tremendous potential in its terroirs, but the soils were nearly dead. Ah... Mo*nto and its famous biodegradable Roundup, promoted through global advertising campaigns—remember the dog digging up its bone? Many winemakers were naive enough to believe the industrial claims of supposedly biodegradable glyphosates that would reduce the need for tractors to weed. Unfortunately, this caused significant damage to the soils and subsoils. After ten years of hard work to revive these soils, Olivier Giroux's role is to cherish this terroir heritage so it can be passed on in good condition to the next generation. And to achieve this, there is only one solution: organic viticulture.

Wine has always been synonymous with joy, sharing, gastronomy, conviviality, and emotions... the list goes on. The winemaker’s craft, devoted to caring for the terroir, the vines, and the cellar, aims to produce generous, warm wines that evoke deep emotions in those who know how to appreciate them. This is the profession Olivier Giroux has chosen, a passion he loves to share and hopes to pass on.
