Staff Pick Notes

There's something about wines from the Jura that spark a heightened level of passion. In fact, Guillaume d’Angerville of Dom. Marquis d’Angerville in Volnay was so inspired by a Chardonnay from Tissot that he bought vineyards in the region and founded a whole new winery: Domaine du Pélican. That was in 2012, and the results have been such a resounding success that he has developed his own passionate following. His Chardonnay comes from several parcels grown at elevation, giving the wine an added dose of vitality. The wine is electric with bright citrus, white peach, almonds, and a minerally finish. Although drinkable on its own, this is a great wine for the table.

Reds from the Jura are often light-bodied, earthy, berried, and reminiscent of the village wines of Burgundy (though here they are made of local grapes like Poulsard and Trousseau). The true specialty of the region,...
