Domaine du Pélican, Arbois 'Cuvée Trois Cépages' 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.

Pélican’s ‘Trois Cépages' is a perennial favorite of ours. It’s a blend of the Jura’s three red grapes: trousseau, pinot noir, and poulsard. Tangy and chillable, yet still elegant, it’s like Red Burgundy’s cool younger brother.
