Description

For this episode, we welcome Amélie Boury, Vice President of Winemaking and Operations at Château des Charmes in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Originally from France, Amélie brings a dual background in biotechnology and oenology, with experience in Alsace, British Columbia, and France before becoming a Canadian citizen in 2018.

Our discussion explores her journey from research to winemaking, and the pivotal mentorship of industry pioneer Paul Bosc, who entrusted her with continuing his vision at one of Niagara’s most iconic estates. Amélie reflects on the challenges of climate change, the evolution of Canadian wine’s reputation, and her philosophy of respecting fruit and terroir while embracing innovation.

From Gamay Noir Droit, a uniquely Canadian mutation discovered in their vineyard, to the acclaimed Equuleus Bordeaux blend, she shares how Château des Charmes blends heritage, science, and sustainability into every bottle.
