Tasting notes

The 2015 Bergerac growing season delivered concentrated dark fruit and natural roundness, and this wine shows exactly that: blackcurrant, dark cherry, and earthy depth without the weight of extraction. The Cabernet Franc component adds a herbal lift and perfumed acidity that keeps the wine lively despite its warmth.

See here our shipping policy.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package; carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice packs upon request, at a cost, but even so, we can't be held liable if it's 104 where you are and corks pop. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Returns Policy

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us at (424) 414-2040 or via e-mail at hello@primalwine.com between 9 am and 5 pm Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Sunday, we would like to understand and try to solve your concerns. We can offer refunds only as store credit.

Producer profile

Château Le Payral

Château Le Payral is a family estate in Razac de Saussignac, a village about 5 kilometers west of Saussignac and roughly 20 kilometers south of the Dordogne River. The Daulhiac family has farmed this land since the early 20th century, with Thierry Daulhiac taking over from his parents in 1992 and formally establishing the estate under its current name. The property includes a 19th-century manor house and 15 hillside hectares of vineyards planted on Castillon limestone with a topsoil of clay, silt, and sand. Seven hectares are planted to red varieties — Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon — and eight to whites.

After studying the estate's soils in 2003, Thierry began converting to organic farming and initiated the official organic certification process in 2005. Since then, the estate has applied biodynamic preparations including cow horn manure and silica in the vineyard, and uses herbal infusions such as horsetail and fern alongside copper and sulfur treatments. Cover crops are planted in fall, compost is applied for soil fertility, and hedgerows have been established around parcels. No synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers are used.

In the cellar, grapes are hand-harvested and fully destemmed. The red wine ferments for 15 to 30 days with daily pump-overs, and malolactic fermentation is completed in full. Aging takes place in a combination of oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, a practice designed to preserve fruit clarity while adding some texture. The estate also produces sulfite-free cuvées under the IGP Périgord designation, an orange wine, and a varietal Malbec labeled as Vin de France, in addition to its traditional Bergerac and Saussignac AOC wines.

Wine region

Bergerac, France

Bergerac is located in the Dordogne department of southwestern France, about 100 kilometers east of Bordeaux along the Dordogne River. With over 12,000 hectares under vine across roughly 90 communes, it is the largest wine-producing region in southwest France. The climate is broadly maritime but with more continental character than Bordeaux: winters are colder, summers hotter, and there is somewhat less rainfall. Vineyards sit at elevations ranging from 50 to 200 meters, primarily on both sides of the Dordogne valley. Soils vary across the region from clay-limestone and gravelly clay (known locally as boulbènes) to sandy alluvial terraces, with the southern hillsides tending toward limestone-dominated substrates similar to Saint-Emilion and the Côtes de Castillon.

The Bergerac AOC encompasses 13 appellations producing red, white, rosé, and sweet wines. The principal red grapes are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec. Key appellations within the region include Bergerac AOC for dry reds, whites, and rosés; Côtes de Bergerac for structured reds subject to stricter yield and aging rules; Pécharmant for the region's most age-worthy reds; and Monbazillac and Saussignac for botrytized sweet whites. Bergerac reds are typically softer and more fruit-forward than their Bordeaux counterparts, owing to the warmer, drier growing season inland.
