Natural wine in Quebec: why Carrera Cafe is a reference address
No added sulfur. No correction. Just the grape, the winemaker, and their vision. At Carrera Cafe, natural wines are not a trend. They are a commitment.
What is a Natural Wine?
Philosophy & Production
A natural wine is a wine that does not try to be anything other than what it is. Like a good coffee: honest, direct, without makeup.
Natural wine is produced with minimal intervention: no industrial yeasts, no chemical additives, no color or acidity correction. Winemakers who work this way bet on their terroir and expertise. The result is often unpredictable. That is precisely what makes it exciting.
At Carrera Cafe, we chose natural wines for the same reason we chose Charlevoix charcuterie: because behind every bottle, there is a producer with a name, a method, and an intention.
Our Wine Selection
Carrera Wine List
A short, lively, changing selection. The wines we love to drink, not those we have to sell.
Gamay or Natural Pinot Noir
Low tannins, fruity, cellar temperature. Wines you drink with pleasure, not restraint. Ideal with Charlevoix charcuterie.
Orange Wine or Oxidative White
Skin macerated, amber, complex. For the glass adventurers. The perfect pairing with aged cheeses from Quebec.
Petnat - The Circuit's Aperitif
Natural bubbles, light, fresh. The wine for the opening, the famous start, the good times that begin well.
The Perfect Pairings
Wines & Menu Carrera
Natural wine and artisanal charcuterie share the same philosophy: the product above all. The pairings impose themselves.
Light Red Wine + Charlevoix Charcuterie Board
Natural Gamay or Pinot Noir with cured ham and dry sausage from Charlevoix. The most requested pairing on our list. Simple, obvious, unbeatable.
Orange Wine + Quebec Cheeses
The oxidation of the wine meets the aging of the cheese. An unexpected pairing that becomes obvious after the second bite.
Petnat + Morning Focaccia
Natural bubbles cleanse olive oil, enhance herbs, and lengthen the bite. The perfect pairing for a midday terrace.
Wines by Season
Changing List
Our wine selection changes with the seasons. There is no dead stock at Carrera. Only living bottles.
Petnats and Natural Rosés on the Terrace
Summer calls for freshness. Our summer selection favors natural bubbles, light rosés, and crisp whites. Perfect at 12 degrees on the Petit-Champlain terrace.
Characterful Reds and Textured Whites
Winter calls for more generous wines. Our winter list focuses on full-bodied reds and oxidative whites. For evenings that last.
