The Land:
Nestled in the Jura’s Arbois appellation, Clos Saint-Laurent is a high-altitude vineyard with marl and limestone soils, reminiscent of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. The cooler climate and well-draining terroir create an ideal environment for Pinot Noir, yielding wines with precision, elegance, and a vibrant mineral core. The vineyard is farmed biodynamically, ensuring a deep connection between the vines and their unique Jura landscape.
The Wine:
This is a singular expression of Jura Pinot Noir—delicate yet structured, with an unmistakable energy. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in neutral oak, the 2022 Clos Saint-Laurent is bright and layered, offering wild raspberry, tart cherry, and subtle floral notes, underscored by a stony minerality and fine-grained tannins. The wine’s freshness and acidity give it remarkable lift, making it both immediately enticing and promising for further development in the cellar.
The People:
Domaine du Pélican is one of Jura’s benchmark estates, founded by Guillaume d’Angerville of Burgundy’s legendary Domaine Marquis d’Angerville. Drawn to Jura’s incredible terroir, d’Angerville established the estate in 2012, applying the same meticulous biodynamic practices used in his Volnay vineyards. With an unwavering focus on purity and site expression, Pélican crafts some of the region’s most refined wines, bridging the elegance of Burgundy with the Jura’s distinctive sense of place.

Located in eastern France, the Jura wine region has emerged as a notable spot for natural winemaking, drawing attention for its minimal intervention practices. Despite its cooler climate, Jura is currently "hot" in the wine world, particularly for those valuing artisanal approaches. It's distinguished by unique soils like limestone and marl, enriching its wines with distinct minerality. The region champions native grapes such as Savagnin, Trousseau, Poulsard, and Chardonnay, which thrive here. Small-scale production is key, ensuring each bottle reflects Jura's unique terroir and winemaking philosophy, blending tradition with innovation.
Jura
Pinot Noir is a thin-skinned, notoriously difficult-to-grow, low-yielding grape that finds its ancestral home in Burgundy, France, where it produces some of the world's most elegant and nuanced wines. While Burgundy remains its spiritual heartland, Pinot Noir has since traveled the globe, finding success in other cooler climates, notably in California, Oregon, New Zealand, and Germany. This grape is a challenge for any grower, as it requires specific conditions to show its best, and yet the wines it produces are capable of such a captivating and singular character.
