Description
Arbois is a town in the north of the Jura region of eastern France. The wine capital of Jura, it gives its name to the region's most prolific appellation for red, white and ros� wines. The appellation itself was introduced in 1936 and covers 13 communes on the hills and valley slopes surrounding the town. The terroir is characterized by limestone and marlstone screes and sandy soils, and its wines typically express brilliant natural acidity and complex minerality. Domaine de P�lican's Savagnin is a particularly nervy expression, which reaffirms Jura as the variety's spiritual home.

Tasting Notes
Showing the pure varietal profile, the 2016 Arbois Savagnin Ouill� reflects very much the style of Domaine du Pelican - clean, fresh and focused wines. It fermented and aged in foudre and 500-liter barrels for ten months. It has good ripeness and nicely integrated oak. The palate revealed pungent flavors [of] great intensity and good acidity. 18,000 bottles produced. The aim is to make Savagnin the grape of the Domaine. This is my favorite wine of the portfolio, a wine with energy and character. Drink Date: 2018-2022. Score - 92+. (Luis Guti�rrez, robertparker.com, Dec. 29, 2017)
