Why « Terroir Access » ?
The world “Terroir” refers to the unique environmental factors – such as soil, climate & topography – that give local products (wine & food) its distinctive character.
“Access” is the ability to enter somewhere.
Terroir Access is your private gateway to regional marvels while exploring the specificities of our unique terroirs.
Your guide : Olivier Dufeu
Olivier began his journey in hospitality with a degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management from his native Brittany. His passion for wine quickly led him to the UK, where he refined his skills as a sommelier at the prestigious Belmond Hotel Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons.
Seizing new opportunities, Olivier moved to New York City, where he thrived in the vibrant fine dining scene. He worked alongside culinary icons like Eric Ripert at the acclaimed Le Bernardin***, and later served as Wine Director for renowned chefs such as Daniel Boulud at Café Boulud * and David Bouley at Bouley Restaurant ** and Danube **.
After 15 years in NYC, Olivier returned to France in 2018 to immerse himself in the heart of viticulture, studying and working at various wine estates in the Entre-Deux-Mers region.
Olivier was deeply inspired to carry forward the extraordinary legacy of the celebrated ambassador of French wine and culture: Michel Thibault.
Trained and mentored by Michel himself, Olivier embraced the passion, expertise, and dedication that defined Michel’s work, ensuring his vision lives on after his retirement. Olivier’s meticulous attention to detail and deep understanding of France’s terroirs allow him to craft exclusive, high-end journeys that seamlessly blend exceptional wines, gourmet cuisine, and breathtaking landscapes. For Michel’s loyal clients, working with Olivier means continuing a cherished tradition, guided by someone who shares Michel’s unwavering commitment to excellence and the art of creating unforgettable experiences.
