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 Trois Cepages a is brilliant introduction to Guillaume D'Angerville's Jura reds. Bright and punchy, the Trois Cepages offers superb fruit intensity in the mid-weight, lifted style that is typical of these wines. The warm growing season gives this blend of Pinot Noir, Trousseau and Poulsard an extra kick of radiance that works so well." 92 points, Vinous Media
