Reviewed by: Nicolas Greinacher
The 2022 Chardonnay Arbois En Barbi is another single-vineyard offering from Domaine du Pélican. Wafting from the glass with precise yellow apple, flintstone and lemon flesh, the 2022 shines with a focused finish. This clear-cut Chardonnay shows a little more ambition than the Grand Curoulet from the same vintage.
