Domaine du Pélican, based in Montigny-les-Arsures, near Arbois, Jura, was started in 2012 by Guillaume d’Angerville, of Domaine Marquis d’Angerville in Volnay, Burgundy, and François Duvivier, régisseur at Domaine Marquis d’Angerville. Domaine du Pélican farms high quality terroirs located in and around the city of Arbois, with the aim to create a new, high quality domaine based in this magnificent region, with strong winemaking traditions. The wines are vinified, barrelled and bottled locally, on the estate.
The pure, elegant and clean 2017 Arbois Savagnin Ouillé is a more powerful vintage with concentration through low yields, but it still a straight and vertical white, with an unusual combination of power and elegance. There is a pleasant bitterness on the finish that somewhat offsets the ripeness of the year and makes the wine come through as nicely balanced. I tasted a 2015 for comparison, and that wine felt fresher than this, and the nose had more complexity and nuance.
