2022 Domaine du Pélican Arbois Chardonnay, Jura, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2022 Domaine du Pélican Arbois Chardonnay is a refined expression of Jura’s terroir, showcasing the region’s ability to produce Chardonnays with both freshness and complexity. Sourced from organically farmed vineyards in Arbois, the grapes benefit from the area’s cool climate and marl-limestone soils, which contribute to the wine’s minerality and vibrant acidity. Fermented and aged in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak, this Chardonnay retains its bright fruit character while gaining depth and texture from time spent on lees. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with seafood, poultry, creamy pasta dishes, and alpine cheeses.
