Domaine du Pélican’s Arbois Trois Cépages 2023 is a distinctive red blend from the Jura, combining Pinot Noir, Trousseau and Ploussard farmed biodynamically in the village of Montigny-lès-Arsures. The vineyards sit on gray and black marl interspersed with rock, and the fruit is de-stemmed, fermented gently in vats and matured partly in Burgundy barrels and large foudres.
On the nose the wine offers tart red fruit of cranberry and red cherry balanced by fresh-cut herbs and a subtle earthiness. The palate is medium-bodied with lively freshness, finely grained tannins and a slight savory edge. It’s an expressive Jura red that feels lithe and direct but has enough structure to reward attention.
Varietal: Pinot Noir, Trousseau, Ploussard
Appellation: Arbois Trois Cépages, Jura, France
Farming: Biodynamic practices
Style: Red. Lively, elegant and well-defined
