Domaine du Pélican 'En Barbi' Chardonnay 2022
Arbois, Jura — France
Certified Biodynamic
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Producer
When Domaine Marquis d’Angerville decided to expand beyond the Côte d’Or, it was clear something extraordinary was in the works. The creation of Domaine du Pélican in the Jura took four years of meticulous research — with Burgundy geologist Yves Herody identifying the region’s finest soils, including precious parcels from Jacques Puffeney. When Jura and Burgundy meet, each bottle releases a wave of energy, emotion, and refinement.

Description
En Barbi lies nestled at the base of a natural amphitheatre of hills — a south-facing parcel protected from the wind, blessed with early and complete ripening. The clay-rich soils layered over grey marl offer excellent drainage, protecting the vines from hydric stress. The vines were replanted about 20 years ago and have been vinified separately for several vintages — and since 2018, En Barbi proudly carries its own Chardonnay label.

Ageing
Aged in 500L barrels (45%) and large foudre (55%), this Chardonnay reveals elegant and precise aromatics: herbal lemon, light smoke, subtle toast, and a delicate creamy texture. On the palate, it is intensely focused and balanced, still youthful and taut, with bright acidity, a saline and enveloping finish — perhaps a touch less persistent, but full of character and mineral purity.
