2016 Arbois Chardonnay Pélican, Jura (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2016 Arbois Chardonnay, Pélican

The 2016 Arbois Chardonnay aged in a combination of foudre and barrique, produced in a floral and fresh style, ouillé, with no oxidation, in a more Burgundian style, clean and precise with a very tasty palate with focused flavors, where the oak is a little more noticeable. This is a blend of different terroirs of Chardonnay. They are going to start with other bottlings where they'll want to show the different soils. It was bottled in the summer of 2017. - Luis Gutiérrez, Dez. 2017

Wine Spectator - 2016 Arbois Chardonnay, Pélican

This starts off with a plump hint, showing alluring pear, green almond and yellow apple fruit, but turns progressively racy and fresh, as this is lined liberally with verbena and honeysuckle notes before ending with a streak of dried chamomile. Drink now through 2021. - Jun. 2018
