Just after midnight, Nov. 12, police and firefighters were called to a blaze at the Ch\u00e2teau Taillefer-Lafon vineyard at 1500 Mont\u00e9e Champagne in Sainte Doroth\u00e9e. <\/p>\n

\u201cAn employee who remains on the premises throughout the night spotted flames emanating from the south side of an outbuilding at the small winery,\u201d recalled Const. di Genova. \u201cFirefighters quickly extinguished the blaze, however because the structure was clad in very dry wood, it suffered quite a bit of damage.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cPolice arson experts subsequently investigated the blaze and declared that it was criminally set,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt started at the bottom of the wall and worked its way up rapidly.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cNothing on the inside of the building was damaged, and none of the reserves of wine was touched.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n Land speculation motive? <\/b><\/p>\n

Then, at 2 a.m., Nov 15, police were called to a fire at 4008 St. Martin Boulevard which caused more than $150,000 in fire, smoke and water damage before it was extinguished. <\/p>\n

The building housed the offices of Groupe Immobilier Taillefer. The company\u2019s president, notary Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Taillefer, also owns the vineyard that was set alight. <\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigators have confirmed that this was also a criminally set fire,\u201d Const. di Genova confirmed. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey suspect that an accelerant\u2014probably gasoline\u2014was used,\u201d he said. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n\u201cA completely melted jerry-can was found at the scene and sent to the S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec crime laboratory for scientific analysis, as was the evidence found at the scene of the previous blaze.\u201d <\/p>\n

Though it might take four to six weeks to obtain the lab results, Const. di Genova affirmed that the investigation of both fires is proceeding apace. <\/p>\n

Me. Taillefer subsequently told TVA News that the property is the object of land speculation and that speculators are not developing their properties in the hope that they will soon be rezoned. <\/p><\/div>\n
