Domaine du Pélican
Domaine du Pelican, based in the Jura and owned by Guillaume d’Angerville of the famed family domaine in Volnay, has brought the world’s attention to this small French region whose entire wine production comes from about 2000 hectares - equivalent to just three Burgundy villages. It all happened a bit by accident. Dining at a two-star Michelin establishment in Paris, Guillaume d’Angerville, as usual, asked the Sommelier to pour him blind an interesting glass of white wine. There was only one rule: no Burgundy. The wine was terrific, but Guillaume was disappointed as he was convinced he had been poured a Burgundy. To his great surprise, the wine happened to come from the appellation of Arbois in Jura (where you can find a Pelican on the coat of arms).
Description
"The 2018 Arbois Poulsard is striking. Crushed rose petal, savory herbs, mint, chalk, sweet red cherry, sweet tobacco and pine give the 2018 a brilliant aromatic upper register, while bright acids lend a palpable sense of energy. Readers will find a focused, ethereal red with striking translucence that shares some similarities with wines such as Carema that have a similar alpine character." 92 Vinous Media
