2022, Domaine du Pélican, ARBOIS, 'Trousseau Béranger'

In 2018 the domaine took over this iconic parcel, previously farmed by Jacques Puffeney (the "Pope of Arbois"), into the Domaine du Pélican fold. Jacques Puffeney created a Trousseau cuvée called "Les Bérangères" out of this parcel, which gained worldwide recognition amongst the Trousseau lovers. Domaine du Pélican were honoured that Jacques entrusted them with this holding. Montigny-les-Arsures, the small village where the winery and this Arbois Béranger parcel are located, is the capital of Trousseau. The soil is made of alluvium and silt over grey marls, stony enough to allow good drainage. This soil composition is particularly appropriate for Trousseau. The vines are over 50 years old.

Violets, cranberries and earthy undertones introduce the expressive 2022 Trousseau Arbois Béranger. Structured with ripe tannins and framed by bright acidity, the 2022 closes with persistence on the spicy finish—a lovely Trousseau. 90 Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous (2024).
