Mathieu Viannay and the Terres de Natures label: the beginning of a new story.
The collaboration between Mathieu Viannay and the Terres de Natures label is the result of an extraordinary encounter that began at the SIRHA, where the founder of Terres de Natures, Matthieu Gufflet, presented his aromatic herbs. Matthieu Gufflet, seeking a prestigious brand to develop the food aspect of Terres de Natures, was impressed by the chef's vision and ambitions. Six months later, the two men were partners. Since then, the synergy between their expertise has led to the creation of four new La Mère Brazier grocery stores, two in Paris, one in Lyon (Halles Paul Bocuse), and one in the heart of the village of Sauternes. Today, Mathieu Viannay brings his expertise and passion for gastronomy to all of the Label's establishments, offering customers an exceptional culinary experience.
