Domaine du Pelican Arbois Savagnin Ouillé

This is the emblematic vine of Jura. In Jura, Savignin is mostly used to produce vin jaune, an oxydative wine which has made Jura famous. Domaine du Pélican produces a non-oxydative cuvée (topped up during elevage in the barrel to avoid oxydation, hence called "Savagnin Ouille"). The Savagnin vine belongs to the Traminer family. Since its birth in Montigny-lès-Arsures in 2012, Domaine du Pélican has rapidly established itself as one of Juras leading lights, producing exceptional biodynamic wines that mix finesse with thrilling Jurassien character. The project was born in Taillevent Paris where Guillaume dAngerville, proprietor of the great Volnay estate Marquis dAngerville, was served blind a bottle of Jura Chardonnay from the 2005 vintage. Struck by its quality, Guillaume was taken a back to discover the wine was not from Meursault, let alone anywhere in the Côte dOr. This moment proved the trigger for an exciting new project. Several Jura visits and tastings later and Guillaume was convinced to buy land there. He sought the help of respected Jura geologist Yves Hérody to find the best vineyard sites, a journey which took three years and culminated in a deal with the Château de Chavannes in Montigny-lès-Arsures in 2012 to purchase and lease five hectares. Jean-Marc Brignot sold him another five hectares shortly afterwards and finally in 2014 five hectares were leased from retiring Jura legend Jacques Puffeney. The estate is managed by Guillaumes Volnay Régisseur and partner in Domaine du Pélican, François Duvivier, who runs a team permanently based in the Jura. The vines are between Arbois and Montigny. Vitally all 15 hectares are within 2km of each other, the same as in Volnay, this allows the estate to grow the vineyards bio-dynamically for which some of the necessary treatments need to be made within two hours of preparation. The plots are among Juras finest, the very best being En Barbi and Grand Curoulet. The terroirs here, a mix of marly clay and gravels with varying exposures from north to south, are even more complex than in Burgundy. Whilst a broadly Burgundian approach is employed to wine-making, there is no doubting the individuality and Jurassien personality of the wines. The dAngerville approach in the cellar has always been light-touch, one which is toned down even more for Domaine du Pélican, little new oak is used and élévage is shorter, lasting twelve months as opposed to eighteen in Volnay. Tanks and foudres are employed for ageing the reds, 500 litre casks for the Savagnin and traditional Burgundian barriques for the Chardonnay. The whites are both topped up as opposed to the more common oxidative Jura method. The rigour and investment of the Marquis dAngerville, local know-how and great terroir is proving a potent combination, for these are some of the most Juras most exciting and complex wines.

Clarence House Estate Pinot Noir

Parker Estate Terra Rossa Cabernet Sauvignon

Parker Estate Terra Rossa Cabernet Sauvignon is a Coonawarra Cabernet that always looks classy. Big rich cassis, blackberry and raspberry fruit ripple with an appealing suggestion of leafiness. The very best oak is always used for Parker's wines and that is evident again with fine integrated influence of French oak that delivers a balanced cedar and cigar box finish.

Bannockburn Grigsby Chardonnay

Bannockburn S.R.H. Chardonnay

This is Bannockburn's flagship white wine, and it's again in imperious form. Named for Bannockburn founder Stuart Reginald Hooper, the SRH Chardonnay uses fruit sourced from just 12 rows of their oldest Chardonnay vines at Olive Tree Hill Vineyard. Here the vines have roots deeply embedded in the ancient marine sediments that form the bedrock in this area, resulting in its signature minerality year after year. This distinct minerality perfectly balances the luscious, golden, powerful fruit that these few vines produce. It's a show-stopping wine and a must for lovers of iconic Australian Chardonnay. "An effete comparison, but this is the most Burgundian chardonnay of the suite... This will age exceptionally well."- 95pts, Ned Goodwin MW (JamesSuckling.com)

Domaine du Pélican Arbois St Laurent Pinot Noir

Product Description: A pale red with serious intent—Jura in all its ethereal glory. Domaine du Pélican’s 2023 Poulsard is as beguiling as the grape itself: translucent in the glass yet full of energy, character, and gastronomic charm. Made from old vines across Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures, including parcels once tended by Jura icon Jacques Puffeney, this cuvée has become a staple of the estate since 2015. Vinified gently with full destemming and no punch-downs, then aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness, this is a wine that embraces its light hue and expressive aromatic profile. The 2023 vintage, shaped by a warm end to the season, delivers lifted red berries, rose petals, and earthy spice. Don’t let the colour fool you—there’s depth and precision beneath the surface. Best served slightly chilled, this Poulsard plays beautifully with charcuterie, mushroom risotto, or a classic roast quail. Also a joy to drink solo, when its gossamer touch and layered aromatics really shine. Tasting Notes NOSE – Bright and floral Strawberries, dried roses and a whiff of liquorice, underpinned by earthy spice and crushed herbs. PALATE – Silken and savoury Delicate yet vibrant, with cranberry and wild strawberry flavours, fine tannins, and subtle herbal lift. FINISH – Lingering and graceful Airy and aromatic, fading slowly with notes of red tea, florals, and soft spice.
