Le Bois Dieu

Salma Cassam Chenaï & Frédéric Thiry - Brionnais

Salma and Frédéric make stunning wines.

The Le Bois Dieu estate consists of a few acres of old vines, nestled in the middle of vast pastures—rare remnants of a vineyard that once covered nearly 4,000 hectares before the phylloxera outbreak.

Le Bois Dieu is a Brionnais estate located in the southern part of Burgundy. It is overseen by Salma and Frédéric, who, after a previous career as lawyers in Switzerland, decided to embrace the charm of this picturesque corner of Burgundy. Driven by their passion for wine, they acquired the ancient estate of Le Bois Dieu. Certain plots of exceptionally old Gamay vines on the property are cultivated organically and vinified in the simplest, most authentic manner. Additionally, they have established a trading venture to vinify grapes from other regions, always adhering to organic practices. In the cellar, the wines are meticulously crafted without the use of additives or added sulfites, resulting in delightful masterpieces.
