E21 - Château des Charmes, Canada

In this 21st episode of Read Between the Wines, we are joined by Amélie Boury, the talented Winemaker and Vice President of Winemaking & Operations at Château des Charmes. Château des Charmes, established in 1978 by Paul Bosc, a fifth-generation French winegrower, has become one of Niagara's most iconic wineries. Paul and his family relocated to Niagara in the 1960s, driven by a vision of crafting exceptional wines in the region.  Amélie shares her insights on crafting unique wines in Niagara, including the distinct Gamay Noir Droit, Canada’s first vinifera vine, and the lesser-known Aligoté. Known for her direct and no-nonsense approach, Amélie provides an honest and captivating look into the art of winemaking, the challenges of working in Niagara’s cool-climate vineyards, and her passion for innovation. This episode offers listeners an engaging conversation with one of the rising stars in Canadian winemaking, while exploring the exceptional terroir of the St. David's Bench and Four Mile Creek sub-appellations.
