Racines du Ciel is made with 100% Cabernet Franc from their Home Farm Vineyard in Creek Shores appellation. The fruit was harvested usually in October and processed as 100% destemmed fruit. Fermentation by indigenous yeast. The wine was aged in one old foudre and a combination of old demi-muids and barrels without any racking for a total of 18 months.

François Morissette doesn’t make wine for Ontario. He makes wine for the world, especially for those who appreciate his approach of minimal-intervention, purity, and low sulphur.

Morissette is classically trained, having worked on the Grand Cru terroirs of Frédéric Mugnier of Chambolle Musigny, Christian Gouges of Domaine Henri Gouges, and Jean-Marc of Domaine Roulot. Further oenological training was also undertaken at L’Université de Dijon.

He attempts to uncover the inherent nature of each and every vintage. The result of this focused dedication is a selection of wines that speak for themselves. At Pearl Morissette, no two wines are ever the same.
