Subject: Marquis D'Angerville goes to the Jura!

Guillaume D'Angerville became obsessed with the Jura after a sommelier in Paris poured him a glass of Chardonnay blind and he was very impressed, believing that it was a Burgundy.

This sent him off on a five year search to find a choice location in the Jura. He consulted with a well-known geologist to find ideal vineyards. He settled in Arbois and created a state of the art winery surrounded by biodynamically farmed vines that had been impeccably replanted by the previous owner Francois de Chavanes. 

Guillaume named the estate Domaine du Pélican, a reference to the pelican on the crest of the city of Arbois. He makes 3 wines, all in a non-oxidative style. 2014 is a great vintage in that part of the world, and he now has several vintages under his belt, to show the best of this area.

The Marquis' version of a Jura Premier Cru Meursault!

2014 Domaine du Pelican Cuvee Trois Cepages
$45 bottle
A red blend of three grapes, 60% Pinot Noir, the balance Trousseau and 5% Poulsard. Aged for one year in used barriques. Aromas of wild red berries; it’s light colored, clean, precise with tension, with higher acidity than a Burgundy, and with more red blood orange aromas and some meaty undertones. The texture is fine, silky and very elegant. Great acidity and finesse, it drinks very well. Village at Bourgogne Rouge prices! 7,000 bottles produced.
