The team behind exceptional products
Because without a team of passionate people, Coteau Rougemont wouldn't be what it is today. Because behind every bottle, there are creative, committed people full of ideas, united behind the same passion: helping local people discover top-quality local products.
Benoit
VINEYARD AND WINERY MANAGER
Originally from Bordeaux, Benoit is an oenologist who developed his skills in this region at Grand Cru classé estates. Keen to perfect his skills and discover new terroirs, he then went on to vinify at renowned estates in Napa Valley and British Columbia.
Since the harvest of the 2020 vintage, he has been responsible for the proper management of the vineyards and the production of quality wine and cider. With expertise in strategy and marketing, Benoit is proud to work with the entire team to promote the richness of Quebec products and enrich the Coteau Rougemont experience.
André
OPERATIONS MANAGER
A true orchestral conductor, André has been in charge of vineyard and orchard operations for 16 years now. Trained as a mechanic, it was in 2006 that he decided to change career direction and applied for a job at Coteau Rougemont. He now oversees all activities on the estate year-round,
from production to administration.
Mercedes
VINEYARD AND WINERY ASSISTANT
Mercedes, who arrives for the 2021 wine maturation season, accompanies Benoit in the vineyard and cellar. From harvest reception to bottling, she is in charge of daily operations in the winery. Her quality of work and passion for producing quality products are real assets for Coteau Rougemont.
Originally from the Eastern Townships, she grew up surrounded by vineyards. So it's only natural that Mercedes should be involved in the vineyard. You might even come across her on the grape harvester during the season!
Louis
MARKETING AND SALES MANAGER
Louis is responsible for the vineyard's sales. He doesn't hesitate to contribute ideas that are often off the beaten track. He has developed his expertise in Canadian wines over the last 13 years in sales, including 8 years at Coteau Rougemont. Trained as a sommelier, he is interested in tasting and discovering wines from all over the world. He loves cooking and sharing good food and wine. He's the bon vivant of our team.
Lucie
SHOP
Lucie thrives on interaction with visitors to the boutique. A true enthusiast of Quebec products, she'll bring a smile to your face as you enjoy the incredible Coteau Rougemont experience.
