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

Eric Chevalier

Domaine Eric Chevalier is a 29-hectare family property at L’Aujardière in the western Loire, in the Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu area. Eric Chevalier returned to the estate in 2006 after ten years of experience in wine négociant work. His sister Gaëlle joined the domaine in 2008 after working in information technology. Eric had also worked as an apprentice in Chablis during the 1990s. The property is based in Saint-Philbert de-Grand-Lieu, southwest of Nantes, and sells through traditional wine merchants and restaurants.

The estate began conversion to organic farming in 2016 and has been certified organic since 2020 through Certipaq Bio. Since 2014, the vineyard ground has been maintained without chemical inputs, and all vines are worked mechanically. The estate identifies metamorphic soils including eclogite and serpentinite, granite and gneiss, and rolled gravel over sand and fine silt. Chardonnay is among the white varieties planted at the property, alongside Melon, Folle Blanche, Fié Gris, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc. In 2017, the estate planted 1.5 hectares of fruit trees and woodland among the vines.

At estate level, grapes are slowly and gently crushed with a pneumatic press before the juice is transferred underground into glass-lined cuves. Fermentation begins naturally with indigenous yeasts, and the wines age on their lees with regular lees stirring. The cellar does not rack or filter the wines. The estate states that most grapes are harvested by hand, uses low sulfite additions, and gives preference to spontaneous fermentations. These practices are applied across a range of dry white, red, and rosé wines from the domaine.

Wine region

Loire Valley, France

The Pays Nantais lies in western France near Nantes and the Atlantic coast, within the southeastern edge of the Armorican Massif. Its bedrock includes granite, gabbro, gneiss, orthogneiss, mica schist, amphibolite, and serpentinite, with local coverings of pebbly sand, clay, quartz clay, and loess. River systems including the Loire, Sèvre, and Maine have altered these formations through erosion and sediment deposition. The climate is oceanic, with mild autumns and winters, humid summers, and reduced seasonal variation from Atlantic influence. The Loire and its tributaries create local differences in exposure, drainage, and temperature.

IGP Val de Loire was established in 2011, following the earlier Vin de Pays du Jardin de la France designation from 1981 and Vin de Pays du Val de Loire from 2007. The current geographical indication covers a broad Loire production area and includes the smaller geographical zones Marches de Bretagne and Pays de Retz. Authorized grapes include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, Chenin, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Grolleau Gris, and Melon, with the 2025 specification listing 24 varieties. The indication covers still wines in white, red, and rosé forms, without Riserva, Grand Cru, or UGA classifications. Eric Chevalier’s 2024 Chardonnay is presented within this IGP as a 100% Chardonnay white wine.
