About the Winery
Pearce Family Wines
In the early 2000's Nicholas Pearce was exposed to the garagiste movement in Bordeaux and was particularly inspired by négociants like Jean Luc Thunevin (Saint Emilion), James Sichel (Margaux) and Nicolas Potel (Beaune) from Burgundy.
After returning home to Ontario and starting his own wine company, he has had a hand in making 10+ wines in two hemispheres, 3 countries and 5 different appellations since the 2013 vintage.

90 points (2022) - Michael Godel
Über clean C-S joint this time around from the Pearce-Predhomme duo by way of Radford Dale in Stellenbosch and the winemaking acumen of Jacques de Klerk. No lack for aromatic volume and syrah adds palate density to otherwise light and transparent Western Cape cinsault. Good showing from 2022, missing some of the natural and volatile swarthiness of previous vintages so look at this as something gained over something lost. Those who wish for crisp, crunchy and as mentioned, very clean will get on board this time. Drink 2024-2027. Tasted April 2024.
89 points- John Szabo, MS
A juicy-fruity, gently lactic, blueberry yoghurt-flavoured cinsault-syrah collaboration between Radford Dale and Ontario importer Nicholas Pearce and sommelier Will Predhomme, with soft, easy-drinking palate, low tannins and balanced acids. It's the sort of engaging wine to drink with a light chill over the near term - would suit grilled sausages on the barbeque so well, or a classic charcuterie board. Tasted April 2022.

About the Winery
Château de Montfaucon
Just across the Rhone river from the beautiful vineyards of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, the Lirac appellation extends itself on the low hills alongside the river. The history of Château de Montfaucon dates back to the 11th century when the castle's first tower was built. The castle's role in history was strategic; the Rhône River was the border between the French Kingdom and the Holy Roman German Empire. Montfaucon was one of many castles and fortresses along the Rhône River constructed to guard the border.
Rodolphe de Pins took over the family estate of Montfaucon in 1995 and subsequently rebuilt the winery and began practicing sustainable agriculture. He honed his winemaking skills in Barossa at Henschke and Vieux Telegraphe in Châteauneuf du Pape before returning to Lirac, so needless to say, his familiarity with the local varieties is well established.

93 Points - Christian Eedes
Grapes from a vineyard planted in 1900. 100% whole-bunch fermentation. Matured for 24 months in 500-litre barrels. The aromatics are more restrained than many examples, showing a touch of reduction before revealing plum, prune, earth, and spice. The palate is rich and rounded, with bright acidity and fine yet grippy tannins. A singular expression of the variety
