WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine du Pelican Arbois Grand Curoulet Chardonnay is a premium white wine produced by the renowned winemaker Guillaume d'Angerville in the Arbois appellation of the Jura region in France. The vineyard is situated on a steep slope with a unique terroir of limestone and marl soils, which imparts a distinct minerality to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with natural yeasts in oak barrels, followed by aging on the lees for 12 months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Chardonnay, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle hint of oak. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine du Pelican

Region: Jura

Jura is a small wine region in eastern France, with a unique terroir and a long history of winemaking. Jura is bordered by Switzerland and the Rhône-Alpes region. It is known for its distinctive white wines, made from the local Savagnin grape, as well as its reds and rosés. Jura has been producing wine since the Roman era, and its winemaking tradition has been passed down through the generations. In the Middle Ages, the region was known for its sweet wines, which were popular throughout Europe. In the 19th century, the region began to focus on dry wines, and the local Savagnin grape became the main variety used.
