Domaine du Pelican, Pinot Noir 2020 Arbois Clos Saint-Laurent

In 2005 Guillaume d' Angerville tasted a bottle of wine blind at a favorite restaurant. He grew up in wine and had been running the famed Burgundy property Marquis d' Angerville in the equally famed wine village of Volnay for nearly 20 yrs and he was certain the wine offered was a burgundy. He was mistaken and the wine was in fact from the Jura. So impressed was he that from that moment on he went on to purchase choice parcels of vineyard in the Jura and a new wine estate was born. The Pinot Noir, from a small vineyard named Clos Saint Laurent is planted on grey and blue marl and limestone soils. It's altitude is nearly 1200'. This altitude certainly helps the Pinot Noir maintain freshness and acidity. On the palate this Pinot is so very elegant,with raciness and breed in every sip. Very expressive with red fruits and a trace of bracing minerality. This is seductive. beguiling and utterly beautiful Pinot.
