"The 2018 Arbois Savagnin Ouillé is fabulous. It presents a seductive blend of dried apricots, crushed white flowers and petals, marzipan and chamomile. The flavors are harmonious, with an oily texture and a hint of reduction that adds character. Despite its prominent exotic fruit notes, the 2018 stays fresh and mineral with a vibrant feel that's impossible to forget. Frankly, it's a revelatory wine". (Vinous A.Galloni)

Domain du Pélican
Arbois
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Volnay owner Guillaume d'Angerville acquired the 5-hectare Domaine de Chavanes in 2012 and renamed it Le Pélican, the symbol of Arbois. This was followed by 4.5 hectares taken over from Jacques Puffeney, and a further 5 hectares of whites at the entrance to Arbois. Managed by François Duvivier, the estate is run biodynamically, taking Pignier as its inspiration. The range, focused on Jura grape varieties (ouillés), also includes chardonnay and pinot noir, delivering a classic interpretation of their appellations. The domaine is constantly incorporating new features, with a new winery nearing completion, a first yellow wine in the pipeline, as well as trials of vin orange, cuvées parcellaires, vin de paille, vendanges tardives, vinification in whole bunches, in foudre...

About the domain :
Owned by François d'Angerville, of the famous eponymous Volnay estate, and François Duvivier, his steward, Domaine du Pélican is a recent creation. In addition to a young vineyard, replanted in 2001, the Montigny-lès-Arsures-based operation has taken over the vines of Jacques Puffeney, a historic figure in Arbois viticulture. The first wines show great technical mastery, with serene, accomplished expressions that offer a sober yet original interpretation of the region's great classics. We look forward to the first cuvées from this estate, which is destined to play a major role in the Arbois landscape.

About the wine:
Its aromatic intensity is characteristic of Savagnin: green fruit and greedy green apple. Intense, deep and powerful, yet elegant with a touch of spice and fresh grass. Fabulous depth, energy and length.
