ABOUT THIS WINE
The "Savagnin Ouillé" from Domaine du Pélican is a modern interpretation of the Jura’s beloved Savagnin grape. Unlike traditional Jura Savagnin, which is often aged under a veil of yeast (sous voile), this wine is topped up (ouillé) to prevent oxidation, resulting in a fresher and more vibrant expression. The 2022 vintage captures the unique terroir of Arbois, with its limestone and marl soils contributing to the wine’s mineral-driven character. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in neutral oak barrels, this wine is a pure and precise representation of Savagnin, making it a versatile companion to dishes like roasted poultry, shellfish, and creamy cheeses.
