$180.00 Sale • Save

A final three-bottle look at Domaine de Chevillard in Savoie, bringing together Jacquère, Altesse, and bottle-aged Mondeuse from three distinct wines.

The Jacquère Cru Apremont 2021 comes from 101-year-old vines planted on limestone scree over clay-limestone soils. It is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 24 months in used oak before bottling.

The Roussette de Savoie 2021 is 100% Altesse from 41-year-old vines, with 36 months of aging in used oak before release.

At the center of the pack is Mondeuse Cru St-Jean-de-la-Porte “La Mort” 2018, from 52-year-old vines on red clay, quartz, and limestone. It spends 24 months in used oak, then another 60 months in bottle before release.

This is a closeout allocation, so once these three are gone, we do not expect to revisit the set.

Swick Wines

Joe Swick is a 5th generation Oregonian winemaker who captures the true taste of the Pacific Northwest through his wines. Joe sources his grapes from organic, biodynamic and sustainable vineyards in Oregon and Washington. After years of traveling and harvesting in various pockets of the world, such as Piedmont, Portugal, and Tasmania, Joe returned to Oregon to start his very own label in 2013. He embraces the minimal approach when making his wines such as using native yeasts, aging in old barrels and adding minimal sulphur during bottling—only when absolutely necessary. While Joe started out with a focus on making Oregon Pinot Noir, he now has explored many other grape varietals and experiments with different techniques during élevage.

About Natural Wine

Great question! There are a lot of definitions for natural wine with the main term you'll hear being that it has had minimal intervention. To be more specific, our definition is that the wine must first be sustainably farmed, which typically means it was organically or biodynamically farmed.

Then, in the cellar the natural winemaking process has some differences as well! The wine is typically unfined, unfiltered, and goes through spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. If you want to know more about what natural wine is, we have an entire guide under our reference section!

The short answer is that natural wine can taste like any other kind of conventional wine (we like to call these stealth natural wines) or it can taste quite a bit different, as production methods can vary and potentially be lighter, or in a style you've never had before (like orange, pet-nat or amphora).

The natural wine community is also more accepting of some qualities in wines that conventional would consider a flaw, like Brett, some oxidation, or volatile acidity. We would consider these in high amounts to also be a flaw, but in many cases a touch of these qualities can ultimately improve their flavor and texture and be happily accepted in a natural wine.
