Oxymore

Oxymore is a project with 2 heads and 4 arms: Guilhem HENRIOT and Rémi THOMAS.

One retrained as a sommelier, the other as a history and geography teacher, and in 2022 they started from scratch, creating a wine trading company and vinifying grapes purchased in the Jura and Beaujolais regions. In 2023 they acquired vineyards in the Jura, around Château-Chalons.

While continuing their wine trading business, they currently cultivate nearly 2 hectares of vines with respect for nature, without synthetic products. Harvesting and pressing are done by hand, and the wine is transferred to barrels by gravity. Winemaking is carried out without additives, using indigenous yeasts and striving to produce pure, fermented grape juices that truly reflect their terroir. They love the emblematic grape varieties of the Jura (Savagnin, Poulsard) but also enjoy working with varieties from other regions (Pinot Gris, Viognier, etc.).

As a young company, we have not yet taken the steps towards certification.
