Angry Birds?
Dangerous Pelicans?

 
What we mean to say is wines from d'Angerville & Domaine du Pelican have arrived at Renegade; two of the most esteemed properties under the guiding force of Guillaume d'Angerville.
Domaine Marquis d'Angerville is a renowned Burgundian estate with a rich history dating back to 1804. Located in Volnay, it has established itself as one of the most prestigious producers in the Côte de Beaune.
The estate spans approximately 15 hectares, with 12 hectares dedicated to Volnay, mostly Premier Crus. Their crown jewel is the Clos des Ducs, a 2.15-hectare monopole with records dating back to 1507. The domaine's vineyards are known for their unique "Pinot d'Angerville" clones, which produce small grapes with a high skin-to-juice ratio. The estate converted to biodynamic viticulture in 2006; the wines today are all about finesse and complexity with the ability to age endlessly (nearly).

Domaine du Pélican is a renowned winery located in the Arbois appellation of France's Jura wine region. Founded in 2012 by Guillaume d'Angerville, Pélican has quickly established itself as one of Jura's leading producers. The winery's creation was inspired by a blind tasting experience at a Parisian restaurant, where d'Angerville mistook a 2005 Jura Chardonnay for a Burgundy (oops).
Intrigued by the quality and character of Jura wines, he spent five years searching for the perfect property before establishing Domaine du Pélican.
Renegade has a small selection of Guillaume's 2022 releases. Please reach out if interested.
Domaine Marquis d'Angerville



2022 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru $150
"Ripe yet fresh aromas of poach plum, black cherry, violet and a hint of cassis complement the delicious, vibrant and caressing medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality that helps to add a sense of lift to the noticeably firmer and impressively long finale. This is excellent with the aging potential to match." Outstanding -Burghound

2022 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Champans $235
"A restrained and intensely floral-suffused nose is reticent to the point of being brooding and only grudgingly provides glimpses of fresh dark berries and spice whiffs. The precise, highly energetic and super-fine middleweight flavors also exude evident minerality on the moderately austere and equally long finale. I almost always prefer the d'Angerville Taillepieds to their Champans but that could well change in 2022 as this is outstanding." Sweet Spot Outstanding -Burghound

2022 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets $198
"Aromas of kirsch, black raspberry, anise and plenty of spice nuances are trimmed in just enough oak to notice. The suave, palate coating and solidly concentrated flavors possess a richer and more generous mouthfeel where equally fine-grained tannins shape the less mineral-driven but slightly longer finish. In the context of what is typical, this is a relatively powerful Frémiets that is very much built to repay extended keeping." Sweet Spot Outstanding -Burghound
It's very obvious Allen Meadows from Burghound loves this producer. So do we!
Domaine du Pélican

2022 Domaine du Pélican Savagnin Ouillé $65
A wine that bursts with drive and energy. Vivid and refreshing with a drive that's robust and engaging.

2022 Domaine du Pélican Chardonnay Arbois En Barbi $80
This extremely special plot is so rich in limestone that it actually looks white! This chalky and mineral-driven Chardonnay oozes with flavors of ripe yellow fruit, chalk, green apple, and toast. This small-production cuvée is a must-have for lovers of Jura, Chardonnay, and all things Marquis d'Angerville.

2022 Domaine du Pélican Chardonnay Arbois Grand Curoulet $80
Grand Curoulet is one of the best terroirs in Arbois. It is a north-facing plot, located on the side of a hill overlooking Arbois and the Saône plain. Grand Curoulet is known for being the place where the first Arbois vines were planted.
The wine is full of ripe and clean fruit -citrus, flinty orchard fruit- with streaks of marl-influenced minerality. There's one doozy of a long crisp finish that we found entirely pleasing.
