ALEPEO - LA SAVONNERIE ARTISANALE D'ALEP

France

From Engineer to Master Aleppo Soapmaker. In 1989 Riad BASMAJI (RB) "who hailed from Aleppo", finished his post-graduate studies and was awarded his doctorate in Earth Sciences Engineering from the Paris Observatory. He submitted his knowledge to serve several French firms. He discovered the virtues of Aleppo soap by pure coincidence.In 1993 while staying in Cannes, RB had a fungal attack between his thighs. This cutaneous mycosis problem came and went on and off for 4 years. In 1997, his sister came to visit him in France from Aleppo in Syria. She gave her brother a gift: it was Aleppo soap. At the time, this soap was unheard of in France and Europe. RB used the Aleppo soap on his body. After 3 months, he made a happy discovery: the fungal problem had been eradicated. This personal story prompted him to conduct an in-depth study of this miraculous soap and ensure that everybody could take advantage of its virtues. Great love and passion were aroused for Aleppo soap. In 2001 in conjunction with two friends, he set up a firm to distribute Aleppo soap in France. The haphazard dosing of laurel berry oil by most of the master soap makers of Aleppo, persuaded him to open his first soap works in the Aleppo region (Kafar Naha) in 2003 with the aim of mastering the manufacture of his Aleppo soap from start to finish.
VIGNOBLES KANDLER

France

The story of Vignobles Kandler started 30 years ago when our Franco-German family decided to acquire land in the hinterlands of the Minervois region, in Roubia, an area between sea and mountain, between the medieval town of Carcassonne and the Canal du Midi. Château Tourril takes its name from the Pierre du Tourril, an ancient Gallo-Roman signal tower that has looked over this scrubland for over 2000 years. The second generation of the family took over in 2014 and decided to expand the winery, switch to certified organic production, work to boost its profile and export sales. Driven by his love of wines from southern France, Stephan Kandler met Bertrand Hardy, himself from a wine-making family in the Rhone valley, and together they decided to make their first organic wine together, a 2016 vintage at Bertrand's Domaine des Pentelines, close to Avignon. After three vintages made jointly, Bertrand sold Stephan the marvellous 24 hectares of organic DPO Côtes du Rhône Villages Gadagne, a pebble-based terroir identical to that found in Châteauneuf du Pape. The characteristics of these two terroirs, these two appellations, are profoundly marked by the history and climate of southern France, and the influence of the Mediterranean in particular. The geographical similarities are heightened by our expertise in typical grape varieties that allow each terroir to express its own unique personality.
