    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Domaine du Pélican, Chardonnay, En Barbi, Arbois, 2016

    Very tight knit at first glance , taut lemon pith, wet stone and freshly-torn verbena leaf characteristics. It may be a little aloof and its inner workings are tightly-coiled but it has a nice texture and exudes a real sense of class and style -a pedigree that reveals itself on the seamless, complex and intense finish. A prime site, one of the finest plots in the Jura, a south-facing marne clay / limestone based vineyard aged in (mainly) used oak barrels for a year.)oak barrel

    The 2018 Arbois Chardonnay En Barbi races out of the glass with a stunning display of energy and mineral-drenched energy. Lemon oil, white flowers, almond, chamomile and crushed rocks are some of the many notes that infuse the 2018 with tons of character. Ample and yet sculpted, the 2018 is a wine of total class. In this lineup, the En Barbi is marked by a brilliant aromatic upper register. In a word: dazzling!
