Description
Product Description: A sharp, mineral-driven take on Jura’s most ancient white grape. Domaine du Pelican’s 2023 Arbois Savagnin Ouille is a high-wire act of precision and texture, offering a racy, non-oxidative take on Jura’s most singular white grape. Made from several organically farmed parcels in Arbois and Montigny-les-Arsures, this cuvee is ouille”, topped up during maturation, resulting in a taut, linear wine far from the oxidative styles the region is often known for. Raised in a combination of foudres and 500L barrels, the wine balances citrus and exotic fruit aromas with electric acidity and fine mineral tension. One-third of the fruit sees a brief skin maceration, adding grip and aromatic depth. This release shows the 2023 vintage’s signature brightness and drive, with remarkable clarity and age-worthy structure. Savagnin at its most chiselled, this is a compelling wine for those seeking sharp whites with a sense of place. It pairs well with Jura cheeses, smoked trout, or sashimi. Drink now for energy or cellar for more savoury depth. Tasting Notes NOSE – Lively and aromatic Notes of citrus zest, crushed herbs and exotic fruits over wet stone and green almond. PALATE – Tense and textured Bright acidity cuts through flavours of grapefruit, yuzu, and white tea, framed by a saline grip and subtle tannin from partial skin contact.
