Château des Charmes was founded in 1978 by Paul Bosc, the fifth generation of French winegrowers. When he arrived in the Niagara region in the sixties with his young family, Paul already knew that the only way to guarantee the quality of the wine was to plant his own vines. Even today, they continue to build on the model of the vineyard: the wines come exclusively from grapes from the vineyards. Respecting the terroirs, and to protect them, they have always used viticultural practices that care for the environment. More than 40 vintages from its vineyards have made it possible to discover which grape varieties are most successful in which plot. But there is still a lot of work! And research by Château des Charmes winemakers on unique grape varieties could transform the future of the industry. The Bosc family remains the owner-operator of Château des Charmes and is still keen to produce wines made exclusively from grapes from the estate. Paul dreamed of a premier wine industry in the Niagara region, based on high quality wineries. Well, his dream has come true: the Ontario wine industry today includes more than 175 wineries that employ more than 6,000 people and welcome about 1.8 million visitors each year.
