An Exceptional Estate by Guillaume d’Angerville

Domaine du Pélican is one of the most exciting wineries in Jura, blending Burgundian expertise with the authenticity of Jura’s terroirs. Established in 2012 by Guillaume d’Angerville, a renowned winemaker from Volnay, the estate quickly became a benchmark. From the start, he converted the vineyards to biodynamic farming to fully express Jura’s unique complexity and identity.

A Unique Terroir Between Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures

Domaine du Pélican spans nearly 15 hectares around Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures, with soils composed of marl, limestone, and clay. This exceptional terroir benefits from a continental climate, ideal for Jura’s emblematic grape varieties: Savagnin, Chardonnay, Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir. The diversity of plots allows the estate to produce wines of remarkable precision, balancing minerality, freshness, and aromatic depth.

Biodynamic Farming and Meticulous Winemaking

Dedicated to quality, Guillaume d’Angerville employs biodynamic viticulture, fostering a natural balance between vines and their environment. All grapes are hand-harvested, and fermentations occur with native yeasts. In the cellar, winemaking is minimal intervention, and aging is carefully adapted to each cuvée, with measured use of oak to preserve purity and fruit expression.

Elegant and Refined Wines

The wines of Domaine du Pélican are distinguished by their balance between structure and finesse. The whites, made from Chardonnay and Savagnin, reveal bright minerality and aromas of citrus, white flowers, and dried fruits. The reds, crafted from Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir, are delicate and vibrant, with notes of red berries, spice, and refreshing acidity. Each cuvée brilliantly captures Jura’s identity.
