Variety: Pinot Noir

The Marquis d'Angerville is not only one of the most talented winemakers in Burgundy, he is also one of the most prestigious in his farming practices. Domaine du Pelican is actually a project in the almost isolated eastern region of Jura. Having been heavily inspired by Jura wine (more specifically a glass of Tissot Arbois Chardonnay ‘Les Bruyeres’ 2005) after thinking it was true white Burgundy, he sought to discover Jura for himself. The wines made at Pelican are by all means Jura, but with a Burgundian approach, as he does not use an oxidative style. The farming is all done with no chemicals and cellar work incorporates a pristine sense of detail.

Coming from the Clos Saint Laurent parcel located directly behind the winery, these grapes are grown at an altitude of 340-380M in soils composed of fallen Bajocian limestone rock over grey marl. The vines range from 10 and 45 years old. Elevage is in used Burgundian barrels (60%) with 40% vinified in a vat.
