Guillaume d'Angerville built Domaine du Pélican after a blind-tasted glass of Jura chardonnay convinced him it was Burgundy, and the ouillé method is central to that ambition: it lets savagnin's own character show without the yeast veil's walnut and curry notes covering it. Fermentation runs in 500-liter barrels, with 10 months of aging in neutral 350-liter barrels after. The magnum has kept it fresh rather than pushing it toward the oxidative register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt displays a bright gold color, opening with aromas of green apple, quince, and crushed hazelnut. On the palate, the medium-bodied frame is tense and clean, balancing orchard fruit against a bitter almond edge that is unmistakably savagnin without any of the curry-spice found in the veiled style. A faint waxiness sits under the fruit without turning oxidative. Acidity is high and keeps the structure narrow through the finish. It finishes long, dry, and nutty, holding its shape rather than fading.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine du Pélican","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50526776885488,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3678\/4368\/files\/Domaine-du-Pelican-Savagnin-Ouille-magnum-2016.jpg?v=1790205537","url":"https:\/\/www.lessismorewines.com\/products\/domaine-du-pelican-savagnin-ouille-2016-magnum","provider":"LESS IS MORE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
