Director’s Note
Just before Covid, I had the pleasure to meet Fabrice Guiberteau. Right away, his deep attachment to the land and his visceral relationship with nature caught my attention. In our first interview, along with Chef Frank Page, we explored some of these themes.
Four years later, I met again Fabrice in Kefraya. I’ve always preferred in person conversation, and this was a great setup.
During our conversation, we spoke about his attachment to the land, what he calls the “farmer common sense” (“le bon sens paysan”), the impact of climate change, how he approaches winemaking and his custodian role at Kefraya.
Besides the short portrait, our complete conversation is available as a podcast.
Enjoy the conversation.
