About

us…

The Laboratory was

established in 2013 by Dominique Fink, M.Sc

Biology and Marco Larivière, B.Sc Chemistry

after careers of more than 20 years each in the

pharmaceutical industry.

Our mission is to apply technology and

innovation to the service of all producers using

analytical solutions and rigorous quality

control.

Our vision is to assist producers in their

product development to create a strong

industry and to be recognized as the top

laboratory for beverage testing and counseling.

collaborates closely with

professional oenologists from

and top French laboratories: Laboratoires

Dubernet and Natoli.

is also a proud partner of

Quebec’s Brewing Institute (IBQ).

Highlighting quality, terroir and supporting the craft beverage industry has

always been at the heart of the vision of and .

The main goal of oenological counseling is to assist producers express their

personality through terroir and creativity. Combining counseling with

laboratory testing in a yearly subscription format ensures precise management

of operations which saves you time but first and foremost, helps you prevent

errors and avoid unnecessary spending. Our ultimate goal is to help you

develop a prosperous and persistent activity. You are already working with a

counselor, a yearly subscription for testing only (Part 1) is available.

Part 1 : Testing

15 % discount on Heat and Cold Stabilities

20% discount on Bottling Analysis

$ 5 additional fee per sample on barrel testing.

Part 2 : Counseling

Part 2 is provided by professional oenologists from OENOQUEBEC. It applies

solely to wines, fruit wines, mead and ciders. It includes:

• One virtual or on-site meeting at our offices for blending trials.

• Unlimited contacts by phone or e-mails.

• Advice on production and monitoring. Strategic planning.

• Tasting and assessment of samples sent to the laboratory.

• Comments on tastings in the form of written bulletins.


A large part of the success experienced by the

laboratory comes

not only from its highly qualified and innovative multidisciplinary team but also

from the partners who have been at our side from the very beginning.

’s oenological consulting professionals are at your side from the very

first design of your project (product strategy, cellar design, planting strategy) right

up to bottling and beyond. Our partners, Laboratoires Dubernet and Laboratoire

Natoli are at the forefront of innovation in fine scale analysis and are leaders in the

French wine industry.

Petiolar

Testing:

Definition and

benefits

Petiolar Analysis Includes :

• Total Nitrogen (N)

• Phosphorus (P)

• Potassium (K)

• Calcium (Ca)

• Magnesium (Mg)

• Manganese (Mn)

• Sodium (Na)

• Iron (Fe)

• Boron (B)

• Zinc (Zn)

• Copper (Cu)

Why tests petioles?

Petiolar analysis answers two questions:

- What is the nutritional state of the vine at a defined stage?

- Is a condition observed on leaves related to a nutritional deficiency?

Testing of petioles is useful to monitor assimilation of metals and nutrients by the vine in real time. When used

specifically at different stages, from early flower buds, to veraison or even grape maturity, it allows characterisation

of the vintage and helps the winemaker apply precise fertilisation early thereby minimising costs. The main goal is

to optimise grape production and wine quality.


Why are must

analysis and

monitoring

tests so

crucial?

The main goal of maturity

monitoring is to precisely

determine the date of harvest.

Sugars measured through Brix will

give an indication of potential

alcohol while testing tartaric and L-

malic acids with inform the

winemaker on the maturity level

of berries.

Must analyses are essential to

assess levels of yeast assimilable

nitrogen necessary for

fermentation.

Potassium testing in musts

combined with tartaric and malic

acid testing is useful to determine

if the winemaker needs to perform

deacidification operations.

Other tests like end of alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation and cellar monitoring help ensure that

products are stable and thus, prevent an increase in volatile acidity. Sulfite testing helps to determine if the

wine or cider is well protected from oxidation. Microbiology analysis will confirm the need or not for further

filtration.

Bottling is a delicate operation. Several important factors must be verified to

ensure that products are stable and will not develop issues later. The Laboratory

can assist you with several analyses like cold stability, heat stability, iron and

copper testing in order to predict de risk of crystal and protein precipitation so

you can take the proper steps to avoid these problems. Microbiological testing

can also be added for additional security.

The international ISO 17025 standard accreditation is used to

recognize the proficiency of testing laboratories throughout the world

Accreditation to the ISO 1725 international standard certifies that the

laboratory operates under a management system which was

thouroughly evaluated and approuved by an accreditation body such

as the Standard Council of Canada.

Accreditation is granted to laboratories which have successfully

showed their technical competence in analytical testing, equipment

calibrations, employee proficiency and result accuracy.

has therefore, met the stringent requirements of the ISO 17025: 2017 standard.

These requirements are recognized internationally.

Why use an accredited laboratory ?

1) Accreditation is the recognition of technical competence of our staff.

2) The laboratory has a quality management system recognized worldwide.

3) The laboratory has shown that it adheres to the principle of constant

improvement.

4) The accredited methods of analysis are validated and reliable.

5) The analytical results produced by the laboratory have undergone rigourous

quality control through an approved quality assurance process.

6) The laboratory participates regularly in proficiency testing to assess its

performance.

Ever since our beginning in 2013, the

Laboratory has operated according to

principles of the ISO 17025 international standard. Constant improvement is and will ever be at

the heart of our values. As your partner, an accredited laboratory can assist you to benchmark

your internal quality control methods by assessing their accuracy and precision.

Samples may be delivered in person to the Laboratory or through your œnologist. For mailing, we

suggest an overnight mail service (Dicom, Purolator, UPS, FedEx etc…) to minimize time between

sampling and analysis. Proper packaging and sample identification are the customer’s

responsibility. A sample testing form, available on our website oenoscicence.com must be included

in the package for sample processing. Sampling units are included in the price of analysis. Order

them today (shipping fees will apply).

For musts, please ensure proper packaging and stabilize your samples either by filtration or by

freezing before shipment to avoid incidents. A dirty or leaky package will be refused

To prevent cross-contamination and guarantee quality microbiological results, samples shipped in

juice or soft drink bottles will not be processed. Please use glass bottles sterilized with boiling

water or ethanol or sterile plastic containers. We provide complementary sterile containers for this

purpose (shipping fees will apply).

For water analysis, specific sampling containers must be used. Please contact us at 514-564-2050

for the correct sampling procedure.
