Photography by:
Michel Joly
Born in Phnom-Penh, Michel Joly is a photographer based in Burgundy. His work revolves primarily around the notion of terroir and territory, with various angles of approach: history and heritage, geography, the economy of the terroir, but also and especially the links that unite man and his territory.
Today, whether in Burgundy or beyond, more than half of his work is linked to the world of wine. He is one of the official photographers contracted by the “Climates de Bourgogne” for the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Photography by: Summer Staeb
Summer was born and raised in Southern California where she currently resides. Her work evokes a sense of nostalgia for times past, days well spent, and the moments that bring people together. She shoots lifestyle, event, fine art and travel photography. Most of her work is shot on 35mm and medium format film. (Summer shot the many beautiful photos for us during a short visit to Burgundy during the perfect "golden moment" of Autumn).
Photography by:
Michael Sager
Michael Sager is a dear friend, ingenious restauranteur, and talented photographer. He accompanied us for several days in Burgundy during both the summer and winter months, and has been kind enough to let us use his photographs. Check out one of his killer wine bars in London (Sager and Wilde). His partner-in-life, Carina Soto-Velasquez is one of the world's best mixologists and has several restaurants in Paris (Quixotic Projects)
