Professional sommeliers and algorithms : the crucial axis of the Alfred platform.

by Guy Doucet

When developing a project as innovative as Alfred, the first thing one must validate within the target market, is the presence of either a real need, a problem to solve or both. Realizing that tens of thousands of Quebec fans have built a major reserve of wines and that many of them have twice the number of bottles that they could drink in the coming years, we have a clear and solvable problem; more so, it is clear that, for any recent wine lover, it is complicated to acquire mature wines and that he will probably have to wait up to 15 years before he can enjoy the great wines he bought in the stores.

What is the market value of Barolos I bought 20 years ago?

by Guy Doucet

If you are asking yourself this question, you are part of the 90% of our passionate customers who question us regularly on the subject. Our reaction, at the beginning of the Celliers Intelligents adventure, in 2012, was, for lack of funds, to search one of the many websites providing wine market values (like Wine-Searcher.com) and tell our customers to rely on their informations as a reference.

Laurence of Domaine Pégau

by Pasquale Charland

Château-Neuf-du-Pape, recognized village, is located between Orange and Avignon in the southern portion of the Rhone valley, and extends on a distant of around 25 km. It is recognizable by the remains of the fortress that dominates the scenery of 3200 hectares of vines. This region is mostly entirely known for its legendary wine, from the very renowned appellation of Côtes du Rhône.

What are the impacts of light on wine conservation?

by Guy Doucet

We are all well aware of the importance of maintaining optimal temperature and humidity conditions to ensure that the aging of our wines is assured. In the past couple of years, I have been able to note the importance of those elements by visiting many cellars dating back by more than millennia, accompanied by experienced professional sommeliers.

When history tells us about Jean-Louis Chave

by Pasquale Charland

The beautiful region of the Côte du Rhône is one of my favorites. The beauty here fully fulfils the term; striking landscapes, terraced vineyards, hills covered with vineyards extending out of sight and especially being the cradle of the finest wines. Jean-Louis Chave is a must; if everything on his wine has already been said, little is known on the man behind the wine.
