The Domaine du Pélican, located in Jura, was born from Guillaume d’Angerville's passion for extraordinary terroirs. Also managing the renowned Domaine Marquis d'Angerville in Burgundy, he was inspired in 2007 by a blind tasting of an Arbois Chardonnay to establish himself in this region with unique characteristics. With carefully selected plots and precise winemaking methods, the Domaine du Pélican combines Burgundian tradition with Jura audacity to create exceptional wines. This estate is a benchmark in viticulture, offering cuvées that combine freshness, finesse, and complexity.

This Chardonnay "En Barbi" 2022 comes from the finest limestone soils of Jura, on plots located in Arbois. Vinified with the utmost care, it offers a refined version of the Chardonnay grape, combining the typicity of the Jura terroir with the elegance of Burgundian techniques.
