Lieux Communs is an urban winery in Montreal. They produce wine from fruit grown in Quebec and Ontario on the northern limits of viticulture. Old school, natural techniques and aesthetics. Hybrid grapes and budding young vineyards. Natural fermentation and often very quickly, slowed only by the cold autumns and winters. The resulting wines are pure, lively, both intriguing and joyous.

Lieux Communs was born out of residencies at several Quebec wineries between 2018 and 2020; Domaine Le Grand Saint-Charles, Coteau Saint-Paul and Château de Cartes. In the beginning, the name 'Lieux Communs' referred to this spirit of collaboration and shared physical space. Lieux Communs also refers to literal spaces for sharing a drink, from wine bars, restaurants, terraces and patios, to beaches, lakes and chalets. It's also some light self-deprecating humor.
