Jane Doe '24

Pinard & Filles is the Magog-based natural wine domaine that has become one of Québec's most talked-about producers — a family project making wines with wit, precision, and a genuine sense of place in the Eastern Townships. Jane Doe is their white hybrid blend: a wine named with the same dry humour that runs through everything they do, and made with the same commitment to letting the vineyard speak.

At 11.5% ABV it's light, fresh, and precisely the kind of wine you want to drink on a warm evening without overthinking it. Québec's cold-climate hybrid varieties — bred to survive winters that would kill any European vinifera — produce whites of real aromatic interest and natural acidity, and in the hands of Pinard & Filles they become something genuinely expressive: floral, citrus-driven, with a clean mineral finish and the kind of energy that makes you reach for another glass. Pair it with oysters, fresh goat's cheese, grilled fish, or Québec charcuterie. Serve well chilled.
