Notes:
This wine has existed since the creation of Domaine du Pélican in 2012. It is a blend of several higher-elevation plots in Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures. The vines, aged between 15 and 45 years old, are mainly on hilltops, on marly soils. Mid-amber colour, with a bright, flinty nose of ripe peach and apricot.
The palate’s fleshy stone- fruit flavours are lifted by juicy acidity. Grapes are lightly crushed, followed by an immediate pressing. Fermented and aged in old oak, two thirds in barrel and one third in foudre.
Perfect for pairing with roast chicken, cheese boards, or creamy pasta sauces.
