ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2019 Domaine du Pélican Arbois Savagnin "Sous Voile" is a classic expression of Jura’s unique winemaking tradition. Made from the Savagnin grape, this wine is aged "sous voile" (under a veil), where it matures in barrels under a layer of yeast, similar to the process used for sherry. This method imparts complex nutty and oxidative flavors while preserving the wine’s vibrant acidity and freshness. The grapes are sourced from organically farmed vineyards in Arbois, where the cool climate and marl soils contribute to the wine’s distinct minerality and tension. This Savagnin pairs beautifully with aged cheeses, smoked fish, roasted poultry, and dishes featuring earthy mushrooms or truffles.
