Salma Cassam Chenaï & Frédéric Thiry

For Frédéric, the love of wine came very early on through a Burgundian grandfather who took him as a child to visit the cellars of the great estates. For Salma, it was more the love of the great spice vintages, those of the big island that gave birth to her, and whose treasures her brother Yoann imported to Geneva brilliantly (Spices & Vanilla). After meeting in China, having traveled for years across Asia in all directions for their professional activity, they settled more than twenty years ago in the Canton of Vaud, where they still work as lawyers. At random on weekends, they discover southern Burgundy, fall in love with Brionnais where they renovate an old agricultural estate, at a place called Le Bois Dieu. It has a few acres of old vines, lost in the midst of vast feed meadows, rare heirs to a vineyard which numbered nearly 4,000 hectares before the phylloxera. In this "land of white gold" with an unaltered environment, their meetings with Pierre Overnoy years earlier, a shared passion for unadulterated wines that reflect the land from which they come, strong winegrower friendships in Burgundy and in the Loire, and very old Gamay vines (planted in 1936 and 1939) just waiting to produce beautiful grapes, all this leads them to take the plunge and make wine without any input, as close as possible to the fruit and as naturally as possible. Without wine training, guided by their taste buds and the advice of their winegrower friends, Salma and Frédéric try to translate, on a most artisanal scale, the incredible beauty of a preserved terroir.
