Domaine du Pélican farms its Savagnin parcels biodynamically in Montigny-lès-Arsures, an area long regarded as one of the Jura’s strongest sites for the variety. The soils are classic gray marl, and the wine is crafted in an ouillé style, meaning the barrels are topped up throughout aging to prevent oxidation. This approach highlights Savagnin’s clarity and natural lift rather than the oxidative notes associated with traditional sous-voile styles.
The 2023 vintage shows citrus oil, green apple and subtle white flowers, with a faint herbal edge that’s typical of Savagnin grown on marl. The palate is focused, guided by bright acidity and a clean, saline impression that carries through the finish. It is a precise, articulate expression of Savagnin Ouillé, offering the freshness and complexity that defines Pélican’s work.
Varietal: Savagnin
Appellation: Arbois, Jura, France
Farming: Biodynamic practices
Style: White. Tense, mineral and finely detailed
