He gained valuable experience working alongside different winemakers in France (\u003cstrong\u003eAndré Perret, Domaine Joblot, Château le Devay, Domaine Duclaux\u003c\/strong\u003e) and Australia (\u003cstrong\u003eAdam Foster, Syrahmi\u003c\/strong\u003e).

Thibaud bought two plots from François Bouillot-Salomon, as well as other unused plots from a local farmer. These lands, once neglected due to their less than ideal exposure, have become an asset in the face of climate change and constantly rising temperatures in the region.
