Vignoble Carone is a 22-acre premium estate winery located less than 45 minutes from downtown Montreal in the heart of the Lanaudière Valley, in the agricultural settlement of Lanoraie, Quebec. Owned and operated by
Sarah and Anthony Carone

In 2002, the decision was taken to update the existing farmhouse and renovate most of the structure in order to facilitate the production of wine. Today, the winery consists of a modest 3,000 square foot building with a 250 square foot climate controlled cellar and a new 500 square foot fermentation room addition (constructed in the summer of 2004).
The Carone family is constantly renovating the winery and expects to have most of the finishing touches completed by fall of 2006.
In 2004, current production volume reached approximately 1,000 cases/year which is based on a direct correlation to the number of existing grapevines in the vineyard. Carone produces mainly red wines from grapes grown on a 1.5 hectare plot.

Lanoraie a signature wine, a medium bodied red, produced from a field blend of Cabernet Severnyi, Frontenac and Landot. Lanoraie is full of dark ripe black fruit flavours with lots of smoky oak, liquorice and vanilla. This particular wine is aged in new American oak barrels for a period of 6 to 8 months before bottling.

Winemaker: Anthony Carone

winemaking philosophy .
To become Quebec’s top-ten wine company by growing premium wine grapes in the Lanaudière Valley and producing the finest New World wines.

The winery firmly believes that quality wines are born in the vineyard.
Our wines inheritably are created from combining Italian heritage to the Quebec terroir; an approach that delivers incredibly distinctive wines that defines the very best of the Lanaudière Valley.

Carone’s greatest asset is in its field-blended vineyard, where grapevines are trained low to the ground, spaced closely with one another and intermingled with other varieties at less than 2 feet intervals. Premium quality wine grapes are characteristically chosen for their obvious quality features as well as their climatic endurance.

The wines are skillfully crafted from field-blending, an age-old tradition, at harvest time, which supports the notion that winemaking begins in the vineyard and not in the cellar. These wines have higher levels of complexity and nuance and are a unique expression of the grapes.

The grow Sabrevois and Frontenac

Stretching over 8 km, Bouchard Island is part of the Verchères Islands, located in the middle of the St. Lawrence River downstream from the island of Montreal. Like Île aux Bœufs and Île Ronde, Île Bouchard is included within the boundaries of the municipality of Saint-Sulpice, on the north shore. This expanse of land is made up of shale covered with clay and sandy soil. With the status of an agricultural zone, the land is used for market gardening and grazing, with the exception of the sector called Le Grand Marais, which remains wooded. Under the French regime, the toponym Bouchard collectively referred to several islands first granted as seigneuries in 1672 to François Robinau de Fortelle, who never came to New France. The seigneury was receded to his brother René Robinau de Bécancour by Governor Frontenac on 23 March 1677, its extent including "the two small islands called Bouchard, scituated prosche and adjoining the large island which bears the same name." It is generally agreed that this geographical entity owes its name to Étienne Bouchard (circa 1622-1676) who, arriving in New France in 1653, was surgeon at the Hôtel-Dieu de Ville-Marie. Variants: Island of Brousard; Rat Island; Agnella Island.

Vignoble St Thomas


Established on an old tobacco fields, Vignoble Le Mernois took root in 2004 The name was changed to St Thomas

The vineyard was erected on the sandy land that produced the famous blond tobacco of St. Thomas.

Éric Gagnon, Annie Pronovost, Alain Vallières and Myriam Pelletier acquired the property in 2013.

Le vignoble a été érigé sur les terres sablonneuses qui ont produit le célèbre tabac blond de Saint-Thomas. Le vignoble a pris racine en 2004 sur ces terre nobles et fertiles et a été crée par Madame Lucille Mercier et Monsieur Jean-Marc Harnois sous le nom de vignoble Le Mernois. C’est en 2013 qu’Éric Gagnon, Annie Pronovost, Alain Vallières et Myriam Pelletier ont acquis cette propriété. Ayant vécu deux ans en Suisse à apprendre les techniques viticoles, Éric nous partage aujourd’hui son expérience et sa passion pour le vin.

Grape varieties are the Frontenac, the Marquette, the Aldamina, the Sainte-Croix, the Radisson, the Sabrevois and the Swenson White. We also have Merlot, this famous Bordeaux grape variety. The wines owe their beautiful qualities to the sandy soil that ensures that the roots of the vines must go deeply to draw their nutrients. The rich sediments left by the passage of the Champlain Sea and the silica levels of the soil create a special climate favorable to the cultivation of the vine. They produce about 20,000 bottles a year.
