Description

The world is full of under-appreciated regions and varieties. The best thing about them is that they can offer utterly amazing value and interest.

This is a great example. The relative obscurity of both the region and the grape makes this an utter bargain. Medium bodied, with fleshy sour cherries and plum, dusty spices and a good whack of cocoa powder, all held with a lean and racy acidity. It's a wine which doesn't take itself too seriously - light and approachable, with an ease of drinking which cannot be matched.

92 Points - "Redcurrant, fresh blueberry and raspberry, a dusting of white pepper and crushed rock, meat and violet. It’s light in body, crunchy and fresh, cool cranberry acidity, dry and ‘minerally’. It’s kind of bony, but still packs in plenty of flavour, finish has pumice stone tannin and a sour cherry edge. If you want big and bold, look elsewhere, but the charm and drinking appeal here is so high, so refreshing, that it’s hard not to gulp. Value." Gary Walsh

    The bigger Savoie red

    The three main kinds of red grown in Savoie are gamay, Pinot and this one, mondeuse. Mondeuse is the bigger of the three, but the term bigger red is all relative and this sits comfortably in the middleweight section for Australian wine drinkers. Domaine de Châtillon‘s expression is a classic Savoie mondeuse. More savoury than say a a cab sav or merlot but in the same register. Very nice and a bargain at $22 a pop. Plus, if you’re ever in Savoie in summer you must go the beach under the castle at the Lac du Bourget - an absolute undiscovered gem.

Reviews LoadedReviews Added

Vivid purple violet colour with very appealing violet, rose petal, raspberry fruit, and white pepper, wet stone aromas, on the palate its medium-bodied plush and fresh with supple well-integrated tannins. It shows ample juicy strawberry, red currant, some blueberry, red cherry, sour plum, spice flavours and a hint of cacao with a lingering clean refreshing finish and a hint of savouriness.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
