About the Wine
If you like exploring the Wide World of Wine, this is for you. Savoie is an underappreciated region and has been making some of the best value for money wine from France. Jacquere is at home in this alpine region, and makes cool, fresh and lean whites.
It's an easy drinking wine, with a taut structure but instantly approachable. There is something deeply versatile here - it can be drunk just as easily in the summer heat or in the cool depths of winter. Steely, flinty and lean, with fresh lemon and green apples coming through. Made for drinking, not for thinking. Utterly smashable stuff.
About Domaine de Chatillon
The stunning French Alpine region of Savoie is known for its beautiful freshwater lakes and snow capped mountains. The wines of Domaine de Chatillon are produced from plots overlooking the Lac du Bourget and are vibrant, fresh and clean wines that convey their alpine origins.
Offering an exciting introduction to this dynamic region, the label pays homage to the 11th Century Castle overlooking the lake. The property is owned by Edouard Peter who is also the owner of Australian iconic winery Yarra Yering & he has for many decades been a lover of the region & its wines.
Historically the wines of Savoie have been consumed locally as the region only produces less than 1% of France's production & the wines where rarely seen outside of the region , let alone outside of France.

Critic Reviews
"Flinty scents, green herbs, wet ferns, green pear. Nice sniffs. Tight and racy to taste, feels like a wine for fondue, cut that cheese and grease. Light and lean, simple wine, done well, refreshing, but yeah, simple as. Decent drink." Mike Bennie

We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
