Domaine du Pélican Arbois Chardonnay 2023

An intriguing style, with smoke hanging over a mix of flinty mineral, poached pear and bitter almond skin. Silky in feel, offering a hint of sweet honeycomb on the toasty yet elegant finish, which is round and oily. Drink now through 2028. (Kristen Bieler,winespectator.com,Jan. 19, 2026)
