Domaine du Pelican Arbois Savagnin Ouille 2021

Made from a blend of parcels in Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures, this Savagnin showcases the region’s diverse soils—Triassic marls, Bajocian limestone scree, and Liassic marly limestone—all contributing to its rich, layered personality. The wine undergoes a gentle fermentation process, with one-third macerating on the skins for one night, followed by ageing in 500-litre barrels with minimal new oak. The result is an aromatic profile that draws you in with green apple, ripe citrus, and delicate herbal notes. It’s intensely flavoured yet finely balanced, with a textured, almost oily mouthfeel that is buoyed by vibrant acidity. The finish lingers with a touch of spice and herbal freshness, making this a wine that’s both powerful and refreshingly elegant. An absolute must-try for those who love wines with a distinct personality.
