Domaine du Pelican (d'Angerville), Arbois Savagnin Ouille, 2022
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Domaine du Pélican is the Jura project of Burgundy’s famed Marquis d’Angerville, bringing Burgundian precision to the wild, limestone-rich terroirs of Arbois. While Savagnin is often associated with Jura’s oxidative vin jaune style, this Ouillé version (meaning "topped up") is a fresher, more linear expression, showcasing the grape’s natural energy and minerality. The 2022 vintage, marked by balance and ripeness, delivers a beautifully detailed white that highlights the Jura’s singular character.
Bright lemon zest, green apple, and white flowers lead, with layers of crushed stone, hazelnut, and a whisper of salinity. There’s richness on the mid-palate, but the wine’s electric acidity keeps it taut and focused. More structured than Chardonnay yet just as refined, this is a Savagnin for those who love texture, depth, and a bit of tension in their whites.
A natural match for Comté cheese, creamy shellfish dishes, or roasted poultry, this is Jura at its most sophisticated. Enjoy now for its precision and vibrancy, or cellar for a few years to watch its complexity deepen.
