Our History

From Wine to Maple Syrup

Pier-Alexis Soulière, MS was born in a village of less that 500 souls called Saint-Pierre-Baptiste in the province of Quebec. He grew up in the World Maple Syrup Capital but somehow ended in the wine world at the age of 20 years old. He worked as a Sommelier on 3 different continents in Michelin stars restaurants and won several top sommeliers contests worldwide. He then realized the quality of maple syrup he grew up with was non accessible to most chefs and guests he was interacting with. In 2018, he moved back to Quebec from California and decided to launch P-A Soulière Sélection Ltd.

His goal was to give the opportunity to his clients worldwide to embrace the purity, tradition and savoir-faire of his homeland.

What people say about us

L’artisan-sommelier ne fait que traduire ce que son environnement immédiat lui dicte, au fil des saisons de sève. Ses équilibres sont atteints, à 104 degrés Celsius, déclinant au nez des arômes de beurre, de grillé fin, avec ce côté eau de pluie froide touchant l’ardoise, le tout pourvu d’un gras consistant, sans lourdeur. Longue finale étirée d’une fine amertume. Une Cuvée St-Laurent 2020 exceptionnelle ! ★★★★★

Jean Aubry, Le devoir Journaliste

Il possède l’un des titres les plus prestigieux de la sommellerie, il a travaillé dans plusieurs restaurants étoilés, mais aujourd’hui, Pier-Alexis Soulière produit du sirop d’érable dans son village natal au cœur des Bois-Francs. Après avoir parcouru la planète vin et décroché le prestigieux titre de Master Sommelier, Pier-Alexis Soulière est revenu au Québec, en 2018, avec un objectif : y produire le meilleur sirop d’érable.

KARYNE DUPLESSIS PICHÉ, La Presse Journaliste

Non, non, non. Détrompez-vous! Cette jolie bouteille ne contient pas un certain liquide alcoolisé, mais plutôt un Sirop d’érable d’exception produit par le Meilleur Sommelier des Amériques, Pier-Alexis Soulière. Et ce qui en fait un sirop d’érable d’exception? C’est que Pier-Alexis a choisi de travailler à l’ancienne, de revisiter le savoir-faire et la tradition, celle d’un patrimoine unique au monde: notre sirop!

Les Minettes Boutique de produits artisanaux

Impossible que vous n'ayez pas entendu parler de lui car il possède le titre du meilleur sommelier du Canada 2020 et a également travaillé dans plusieurs restaurants étoilés. Au cœur de la saison, il produit ce sirop d’érable sélectionné sur la terre familiale au cœur des Bois-Francs. Un niveau de qualité qui à l'origine était seulement destiné à la famille proche. 2021 représente une année ensoleillée et sans grandes précipitations produisant une superbe qualité mais en quantité très limitée. Merci de nous offrir de si beaux produits d'artisans.

More Than Maple Syrup

Purity, Tradition, Savoir-Faire

You need to understand the tradition of producing maple syrup to get where we come from. Back in the days, the highest quality of maple syrup was kept for the family and closed relatives. The rest was then sold to the cooperative and then packaged to be shipped worldwide. Some families are still working this way in Quebec and at P-A Soulière Selection Ltd, we just want to give the opportunity to a wider range of people to have access to what represents for Pier-Alexis and his wife, the best quality of every year’s harvest, which typically represents less than 10% of the production.
