Domaine du Pélican is owned by Guillaume d’Angerville, who also owns and operates his family estate in Volnay, the famous domaine Marquis d’Angerville. The Jura enterprise started only in recent years, after Guillaume in 2007 tasted a bottle of Chardonnay Arbois in a favorite Paris restaurant and mistook it for an outstanding Burgundy. He began looking for vineyards in Jura and ended up with 35 vineyard acres, including 10 from the retiring vigneron Jacques Puffeney, a legendary winemaker whose vineyards have never been touched with chemicals. The domaine makes white and red wines.
