"In the belief that quality and value go hand-in-hand
Château des Charmes is dedicated to producing world-class wines in Canada, using only the finest grape varieties"

The Bosc Family

"(Paul Bosc) has always stressed things such as soil typing, microclimate, grafting techniques and vine selection. That's not very glamorous stuff to most consumers, but it's care that shows in the bottle. No winery underscores the potential for Niagara wines more than Château des Charmes."

"Two decades have passed since Frenchman Paul Bosc, scion of five generations of winemakers, along with his wife Andrée, bought his first Niagara vineyard and planted it with nothing but vinifera vines, triumphantly defying conventional wisdom. Ever since then, his pioneering work in viticultural techniques has made headlines with the industry."

"Considered by many to be the finest winery in the country, Château des Charmes produces wines that are nearest the French style. Winemaker, Paul Bosc, has been described by Leon Adams, the doyen of American wine writers, as the best winemaker in Canada."

"Bosc is the Baron Philippe Rothschild of Ontario, he is leading the Ontario wine industry."

"Owner and winemaker Paul Bosc and his entire family have been working for and planning this move for the last decade, and their success is a signpost to the future of winemaking as a major attraction to southern Ontario. Without waxing too poetic, I see the opening of the new Château des Charmes as the starting point of the next chapter in Ontario winemaking. Château des Charmes has led the way, and others will follow, I am sure."

"Paul did much to convince the industry that the future lay in vinifera varieties and his early Rieslings and Chardonnays were models for other wineries. His wine making style is totally Burgundian, especially in his penchant for the difficult Aligoté grape and his insistence in making a Gamay Nouveau every year (the best in Ontario). He also makes the best champagne method sparkling wine in Canada."
