2024 Domaine Du Pelican Arbois Savignin Ouille

Taut, electric, and precise.

"Ouillé" means the barrels are topped up during aging — the opposite of the oxidative, nutty vin jaune style the Jura is famous for — and the result is Savagnin at its most chiselled and transparent, fermented in 500-liter barrels and aged in neutral 350-liter barrels for ten months.

Sourced primarily from Grand Curoulet and Au Barby, two of Arbois's finest Savagnin terroirs on old Jurassic marl — the same biodynamically farmed estate founded by Guillaume d'Angerville after a single blind tasting in Paris convinced him the Jura deserved the same serious attention as Burgundy. For anyone who thinks they don't like Jura wine, this is the bottle that changes the conversation.
