Domaine du Pélican, Arbois Chardonnay 'Grand Curoulet' 2020

Few names in the wine world carry the same weight as d’Angerville. Based in Volnay, the domaine is responsible for some of the most elegant and complex wines in Burgundy. An hour’s drive east in the Jura, Guillaume d’Angerville founded Domaine du Pélican in 2012. Just as d’Angerville does in Burgundy, they organically and biodynamically farm the region’s best vineyard sites - like Grand Curoulet and Béranger - before taking a hands-off approach in the winery. While they grow some chardonnay and pinot noir, Domaine du Pélican focuses on grapes native to the Jura, like savagnin, trousseau, and poulsard.

Chardonnay from the Jura is a lot like White Burgundy, but a little more savory. Grand Curoulet is one of the region’s greatest vineyards, known for producing particularly ripe and rich white wines. If you enjoy the wines of Bize or Chanterêves, this will be right up your alley.
