We are thrilled to present a marriage between the singular wines of François Rousset-Martin and the Syrian cuisine of Fuad Alnirabie at Damas. From tiny parcels on the steep slopes of the Jura, Rousset-Martin crafts wines of remarkable texture and intensity. Their savory, nutty, and spiced character finds a natural harmony with the depth and warmth of Alnirabie’s cooking, seamlessly bridging two distant traditions.
Chef Fuad Alnirabie, of Montréal’s renowned Damas, brings a modern gastronomic vision to Syrian cuisine. Raised in Syria and guided by memory, he reimagines traditional dishes through refined techniques and seasonal ingredients. Each month, he creates a new tasting menu that blends authenticity, artistry, and innovation, celebrating the depth and evolution of Levantine flavors.
François Rousset-Martin is an iconic winemaker in the Jura region of eastern France. He produces an impressive range of wines from micro-parcels of Chardonnay and Savagnin grown on the dramatic slopes of Château-Chalon. His portfolio also includes expressive red wines from Jura, Burgundy, and Beaujolais, as well as long-aged oxidative wines typical of the region.
