About the Winemaker
Oxymore is the collaborative project of brothers-in-law Guilhem Henriot and Rémi Thomas, crafting natural wines in the Jura region of France.
Launched in 2022, both winemakers trained under the legendary François Rousset-Martin. Their name 'Oxymore' (oxymoron) reflects their philosophy of embracing contradictions—tradition and innovation, restraint and expression.
Farming & Cellar: Oxymore practices organic farming with hand harvesting, indigenous yeast fermentation, and extended lees aging. Wines are unfined, unfiltered, and bottled with minimal intervention.
US Natural Wine ships once a week, every Wednesday. All orders should be placed by Tuesday at noon in order to be picked up from our distributors and out on Wednesday's delivery truck.
Shipping cost is 35 bucks a box (up to 12 bottles) so we highly encourage picking up more than 1 bottle for the best value! Remember, all orders over $200 get FREE SHIPPING!
At $35, shipping cost is on par with most wine ecommerce. Ultimately, we eat the cost of shipping more often than not because wine can be damn heavy. We can't thank you enough for your understanding!
