The 2022 Domaine du Pélican Arbois Savagnin Ouillé is a vibrant and mineral-driven Jura white crafted from 100% Savagnin, produced in a fresh “ouillé” style where the barrels are regularly topped up to preserve purity and freshness. Expressive and layered, it reveals aromas of citrus, white peach and green apple alongside notes of acacia, bitter almond, wet stone and subtle spice.
On the palate is textured yet energetic, balancing bright acidity with a saline, mineral-driven core and a long, precise finish. The style is elegant and modern, showcasing the unique character of Savagnin without the oxidative intensity often associated with traditional Jura wines.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding discovery wine for customers who enjoy Chablis, White Burgundy or Loire Chenin Blanc but want something more distinctive and terroir-driven. It’s all about freshness, tension and savoury complexity rather than heaviness. Perfect with oysters, seafood, roast chicken, mushroom dishes or Comté cheese. Enjoy now or cellar beautifully over the next 6–10 years.
