Mix & match wines. Discount applied at checkout.This comes from gamay grown on sandstone in the wild hills of the western Ardèche. This is a complex yet approachably fruity style which shares much in common with many of our favourite grenache blends from the Rhone, Ardèche and other warmer regions in France’s south

Le Bois Dieu was started in 2015 after Salma and Frédéric moved to the commune of Semur-en-Brionnais to restore an old agricultural estate and work with its plots of old gamay vines. These vines were once part of a region planted to 4000 hectares that was largely abandoned after the phylloxera crisis in a widespread move toward cattle farming in the area. While this has been unfortunate for wine production in Brionnais, the upside is that the area has almost never been exposed to chemicals and the soil is very much intact, resulting in magnificent terroir for producers like Salma and Frédéric to work with.
Salma and Frédéric met while travelling in Asia and, having moved back to Europe together in 2002, developed a keen interest in natural wines after meeting Pierre Overnoy and other winemakers in the Jura. Wine has always been a great love for Frédéric, whose Burgundian grandfather took him to visit the cellars of some of the great estates at a young age. Salma was born in Madagascar and was first exposed to farming concepts through the production of spices and vanilla, which her brother Yoann now imports to Geneva. Also living in Switzerland for a time, both practising law in the district of Vaud, Salma and Frédéric’s love of Brionnais grew out of a series of weekend trips to Burgundy, and six years after making the move to the area, Le Bois Dieu released their first wines in July 2021.
