Domaine du Pelican, Trois Cepages, Arbois

13.5% ABV. Popped & poured. Medium ruby colour. Some funky reduction. Red and some dark fruit, strawberry, spices, and slate-like minerality, with good, medium-level acidity, and great persistence. Smoothly textured and well-balanced. I enjoyed it. Drink, or hold.

2020 vintage

Mild funk that eventually blew off. Earthy, light extraction but good concentration. Bright red fruits and just a tinge of bret. As far down the Natty line that I usually like but very good. Nice acidity and decent finish.

2020 vintage

The colder vintage really shows in the light, translucent color, and only 11.5% abv. Incredibly fresh red fruit, with wild strawberries predominant, nice floral notes. Good concentration despite the light style. Rather different and enjoyable.

2021 vintage

A combining of three red grapes in Jura. Red fruit, fleshy, light body and transparent tannin. Easy drinking yet complicated.

2020 vintage

Had an amazing bottle of this years ago and have been chasing it to mostly disappointing results since. This has so much funky barnyard to it I just can’t even. Down the drain :(

2020 vintage

i remember really liking the '19 of this, and this '20 is also extremely lush and attractive. earthy on the nose, the sappy red fruit has impressive zip and verve. there's a hint of barnyard which makes it extra interesting ; however the fruit commands the stage and this i suspect this would be a real crowd-pleaser.

2020 vintage

Fun wine--Jura blend of Pinot, trousseau and poulsard. Very bright red fruit profile with a real wild streak. An interesting mineral profile on the palate brings in a slightly bitter finish (sort of campari like, but in a pleasing way). My first time with this wine, but may need to go back for a few more.

2020 vintage

Pale ruby with aromas of red currant, strawberry, sweet spices on the nose. On the palate the wine is dry with medium plus acidity, medium body, medium minus tannins, medium alcohol and medium flavor intensity with red currants, cranberry, strawberry, red cherry, sweet spices and a freshness. Finish is medium with red fruits. The wine is refreshing, light and just enough complexity to make you go back for more.

2020 vintage

Bright and juicy with a mix of red & dark berry and a stoney quality. Medium-light body, slight funk to the finish. Good.

2020 vintage

Grand Cru Portfolio Tasting (3/9 Grand Cru Portfolio Tasting, NYC) : Nose is a bit sweet horsey, but okay. Palate is tangy and grippy, not bad! As with all wines, needs time to come together.

2020 vintage

God til å være en Pinot (som jeg egentlig kan styre meg for). Lett avslepne tanniner, ukomplisert vin.

2014 vintage

Drinking over about an hour it really hit its stride. What opened as a nose of barnyard dung and palate of acidic dull red fruit turned into forest floor, mint, wet leaves, black cherry, couch syrup. Light bodied, medium + acidity but it really has no direction and overwhelms the mouth - it does make for easy drinking forest berries, potting soil, blueberries, dark chocolate.

2014 vintage

Flott, lett og fruktig vin, men rips/kirsebær toner på nese. Tydelig PN karakter selvom det er en blandings vin av tre druer. 1 1/2år i kjelleren har vært bra.

2014 vintage

My note is curiously different than others here, so take it as you will. This bottle showed heavy oak and little more. I would guess a $5 Rioja from a tank winery. I hope this is an off bottle rather than what money does to the Jura, but I doubt I’ll bother to find out soon. Poor.

Wine Group Jura Tasting (Easy Bistro) : pale garnet with amber rim; red berries, sous bois, florals, a bit of baking spice; blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 35% Trousseau, and 5% Poulsard; 12.5% alcohol

2014 vintage

Pale ruby color. Fresh berry with a bit of tart apple. Definitely tasted the Trousseau. Very much enjoyed.

2014 vintage

Champagne Harvest Brunch (Easy Bistro) : pale garnet; wild berries, earth, Jura funk; lightweight, tart, drinkable, no depth, 12.5% ABV; blend of Pinot Noir, Trousseau, and Poulsard

2014 vintage

C initially thought perhaps too tart and acidic but came around to it. I loved it from the start... great red fruit, fresh, crisp, tart. Delicious and went down easy with day 2 of the nfl draft.

2014 vintage

Pale garnet, bright; delicate wild strawberries, then an Attractive earthiness springs up; soft & earthy, backed by marked acidity which provide vitality, lightweight, intriguing. Fades on finish. Very drinkable but lacks real presence.

2014 vintage

At Charlie Bird in NYC - This was fantastic. Each component of the blend showed individually and in complement with the others. The mineral zing and light red raspberry of the trousseau and poulsard played counterpoint to the earthier/sous bois and dark red fruit of the Pinot Noir. Other tasting notes highlighted the acidity, but to me, it was well balanced. Very interesting, beautifully perfumed, and totally drinkable with both meat and seafood. Will try to find a few bottles …

2014 vintage

Light ruby, like looking through rose colored glasses. Nose has cranberry, pine needles, burnt orange zest and wet stones. Huge acidity, tart and tightly wound up with light weight. Cranberry and red currant, minerals and light mint on the palate. Finish a little rough and moderate in length. Needs food given the high acidity. Probably better in time but as it sits right now, not a very good QPR in my view.

2014 vintage

Robe claire, légère, translucide et de teinte rubis, avec des nuances orangées sur les pourtours. Nez réduit au départ (cave humide), mais qui s'estompe rapidement à l'aération (verre Riedel de type Bourgogne) pour laisser toute la place à une belle présence aromatique, très bourguignonne, sur des notes de cerises, de fraises, de zeste d'orange, de cannelle, de poivre noir et de fleurs séchées (pivoine). La bouche est élégante, suave et soyeuse sur les mêmes arômes que ceux perçus au nez. …

2014 vintage

Wow! Tart, zingy, funky, not for the tame. PnP blind, it was recognizable as Jura if just for the funk. Others at the table physically recoiled on first sip. I'd serve this to wine geeks, but not at a dinner party. More interesting than good on the first day. With 2 days of airing this actually calmed down a little, but still...

2014 vintage

Fin, suave, parfumé, si peu rustique pour un rouge du Jura, délicieux

2014 vintage

Clear, light-ruby color. Primary/secondary aromas- bright red cherry, mulled spices, chamomile tea, pine needles. The palate showing tart cherry flavors, saltwater taffy, sweet spices, and hints of mineral and earth notes. Medium-light in body, racy acidity, elegant tannins. Juicy finish. Lots of treble in the mix on this one.

2014 vintage

2014. Very impressive suave, sappy, velvety Pinot that brings to mind Volnay and tangy punch from Poulsard. Maybe it's Burgundifying Jura, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't think it was absurdly delicious right now. This is showing even better than when we first tasted it with Liz. Hoohwee.

2014 vintage

Don't remember why, but I didn't care for this.

2014 vintage

Ekstremt tiltalende Pinot-drevet duft. Rødbærsfrukt som fremstår ren, slank og transparent. Som å tygge på søte, kjøttfulle kirsebær der det lett bitre skallet bidrar med struktur og et slør av tanniner. Flott lengde, flott nerve, flott vin. Superjuicy nytelse.

2014 vintage

PnP at Aster. Delightfully zingy with bright fruit. 12.5%

2014 vintage

Fino, definido y elegante. Coupage interesante donde cada variedad aporta. Fresas, palote, vegetales. Todo muy compensado. Mínima madera que integrará en breve. Lavanda y hierbas aromáticas. Fresco y limpio. Muy definido también en la boca, fluido, vertical. Boca agua effect!. Sorpresa para mi, al final la mano de Angerville se nota. Muy rico.

2014 vintage

Very hard to read and to like tonight. Sharp, high acid, almost sour finish. With about 30+ of air it showed more fruit but not the succulent and delicious quality of bottle from a few months ago. More trousseau than Poulsard or Pinot today. Either an off bottle or the wine is shutting down.

2014 vintage

Fresh, succulent, high acid, nice balance. Interesting blend--with Pinot and poulsard showing strongest. Definetely added depth and breadth with air so would let rest for year or two for best result, but happy and approachable drinking now.

2014 vintage

Very light Ruby. Balanced, but definitely leaning toward the acid side. Over four nights we slowly discerned maybe a touch of creaminess trying, and still trying ... to peek through. This is very Jura in character, although it is not oxidative in the least. It would be quite interesting to see what this is like in three or four years -- but at this price, I doubt we will purchase more in order to experience it.
