Tasting notes

Deep straw yellow. An intense, savoury nose of quince, dried pineapple, lemon oil, green walnut and curry leaf, with a smoky mineral lift. The palate is powerful and dense, the high acidity holding the ripeness in check, the texture waxy and almost resinous. A very long finish, dry and salty, with a pleasantly bitter almond edge.

About this wine

Savagnin is the Jura's signature white grape, best known for the deliberately oxidative vin jaune. This bottling takes the other path: ouillé means the barrels are kept topped up throughout ageing, so no veil of yeast forms and the fruit stays fresh and direct.

Domaine du Pélican, the Jura estate of Guillaume d'Angerville, farms its marl slopes around Arbois biodynamically. Whole-bunch pressing, native-yeast fermentation and a long élevage in used barrels give a white of striking intensity and grip, showing what Savagnin can do without oxidation.
