In a Qu\u00e9bec where viticulture was still viewed with considerable scepticism, Christian Barthomeuf boldly persisted to believe it could succeed. In the 1980s, he planted his first vines in the Eastern Townships, developed a cider inspired by our winters, and then patiently transformed an orchard into a living laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, his approach relating to our natural resources has taken root just about everywhere: in our thriving orchards, in the wine-growing landscapes so characteristic of our region, and in the actions of a whole new generation of producers. His contribution isn\u2019t limited to his own products; in fact, he transformed an entire culture.<\/p>\n\n\n
