Struck by its quality, Guillaume was taken a back to discover the wine was not from Meursault, let alone anywhere in the Côte d’Or. This moment proved the trigger for an exciting new project. Several Jura visits and tastings later and Guillaume was convinced to buy land there. He sought the help of respected Jura geologist Yves Hérody to find the best vineyard sites, a journey which took three years and culminated in a deal with the Château de Chavannes in Montigny-lès-Arsures in 2012 to purchase and lease five hectares. Jean-Marc Brignot sold him another five hectares shortly afterwards and finally in 2014 five hectares were leased from retiring Jura legend Jacques Puffeney.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate is managed by Guillaume’s Volnay Régisseur and partner in Domaine du Pélican, François Duvivier, who runs a team permanently based in the Jura. The vines are between Arbois and Montigny. Vitally, all 15 hectares are within 2km of each other, the same as in Volnay, this allows the estate to grow the vineyards bio dynamically - for which some of the necessary treatments need to be made within two hours of preparation. The plots are among Jura’s finest, the very best being En Barbi and Grand Curoulet. The terroirs here, a mix of marly clay and gravels with varying exposures from north to south, are even more complex than in Burgundy. Whilst a broadly Burgundian approach is employed to wine-making, there is no doubting the individuality and Jurassien personality of the wines. The d’Angerville approach in the cellar has always been light-touch, one which is toned down even more for Domaine du Pélican, little new oak is used and élévage is shorter, lasting twelve months as opposed to eighteen in Volnay. Tanks and foudres are employed for ageing the reds, 500 litre casks for the Savagnin and traditional Burgundian barriques for the Chardonnay. The whites are both “topped up” as opposed to the more common oxidative Jura method. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name of the estate, Domaine du Pélican is a tribute to the historical reasons which led to Arbois choosing a pelican as the town’s symbol, in its crest. It is in memory of a beloved pet of Marie de Bourgogne which had not survived a trip to the Jura. Marie, wife of Maximilian of Habsburg, Emperor of the German Empire had been accompanying her husband, touring their dominion. The treasured bird perished in the cold weather. Rather wary of the potential repercussion of this drama, the town of Arbois chose the pelican for their emblem. Widely known, this legend had never been used, until Guillaume d’Angerville came to the Jura.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"domaine-du-pelican-arbois-chardonnay-en-barbi","title":"Domaine du Pélican Arbois Chardonnay En Barbi 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eDomaine du Pélican have been farming 'En Barbi' for almost a decade, but for the past few years, they have been vinifying the Chardonnay grapes grown here separately from the other Chardonnay plots, in order to taste it as \"single vineyard\" during ageing. The En Barbi vineyard is an extremely special plot (one of the finest in the Jura), south facing, sheltered from the winds and so rich in limestone that it actually looks white! Francois Duvivier believes that the presence of such a large amount of marl in the soil contributes to wines with more minerality, volume, and length than a “classic” soil of clay and limestone. He describes the balance between the soil type (marl) and the exposure (south) being the main factors in the uniqueness of 'En Barbi' as a plot. After a couple of years experimenting 2018 was the first vintage released in bottles as a single vineyard expression. The wine is aged in a combination of oak barrels (50%), Foudre (30%) and vats (20%). A beautiful chalky and mineral-driven Chardonnay that oozes with flavours of ripe yellow fruit, chalk, green apple, and toast.[#intro]Single vineyard chardonnay from one of the finest sites in the Jura...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine du Pélican","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32011249877059,"sku":"A20PELICANENBARBI-1","price":47.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/products\/ChardonnayEnBarbi.jpg?v=1598182650"},{"product_id":"domaine-du-pelican-arbois-pinot-noir","title":"Domaine du Pélican Arbois Clos Saint-Laurent Pinot Noir 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter much deliberation Domaine du Pélican decided to produce a 100% Pinot Noir cuvée for the first time from the 2018 vintage. The team had resisted until then because they were concerned that they would perhaps not master the vinification of Pinot Noir outside of Burgundy. In 2019, the cuvée was made exclusively from their Clos Saint-Laurent parcel, chosen for its altitude (340-380m), ideal for the fresh style they wanted to achieve. So, it became “single vineyard”. The soil is made of fallen rocks (\"éboulis calcaires\") of Bajocian limestone over grey marls (Lias) and the vines are between 10 and 45 years old. Aged in a combination of Burgundy barrels (60%) and in vats (40%) no new oak is used. Earthy and medium-bodied, the wine shows flavours of red fruit, cranberries and toasted bread, with mineral-laden undertones and refreshing herbal notes shining through on the finish.

Because of its multi-faceted personality, there are many different ways to work with the grape variety. In Jura, the most common use of Savagnin is for oxidative wines under a veil of flor rather like in Jerez, Spain (sous voile), either as vin jaune (which requires 6.5 years in barrel sous voile), or simply Savagnin (2 to 5 years in barrel sous voile.) Savagnin ouillé, sometimes called Traminer, or Fleur de Savagnin, is the topped-up version of Savagnin, one that Domaine du Pélican has been producing since 2012. Grapes for the Domaine du Pélican Savagnin Ouillé are sourced from numerous plots in Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures. The diverse soils include three geological ages of marl. A pale lemon colour heralds a nose of pure stone-fruit with enticing lemon zest. The palate is joyful: pure and precise lemon and peach fruit to the fore, with zesty lift. A wine of tension and energetic drive.
