Damien Bastian was born in Annemasse, and comes from the world of horticulture. He has many years of experience in vegetable growing and in developing complex vegetable systems in Chad. On his return, he worked in the restaurant business in Geneva and came into real contact with wine. There, he decided to work again with nature in general, and with natural wine in particular. He then worked for a well-known Savoyard winemaker, Dominique Lucas.
Then in 2017, he settled on 75 ares of chasselas vines in the Marignan appellation (Savoie) less than 1km from Lake Geneva. His winery is called "Ça Boit Libre", a play on words to speak of freedom but also of the independence of his region ("Savoie Libre"). Obviously, such a large surface area does not allow him to make a living from it and Damien therefore continues in 2018 and 2019 to work as a farmhand for Anne & Jean-François Ganevat. - Petites Caves

SPÖN PICKS
SPÖN Bottle Shop & Wine Bar: Made for Discovery
A 50-seater wine bar; Inspired by the charming, drink-in bottle shops hidden throughout the cobblestone streets of Europe, explore a rotating world of natural, organic, rare & vintage wines, and craft beers sourced from Australia and across the globe.
Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
