DOMAINE DU PELICAN

Having adopted this name, it is not without recalling the symbol of Arbois. The bird feeding its young by piercing its heart to feed its young... and from which blood flows. This is the blood of the vine that Guillaume d'Angerville and François du Vivier have been spilling since 2012. Originally from Burgundy, the two accomplices have in fact brought together 3 distinct properties. Either 15 hectares from the vines of Château de Chavanes, those of the "Grand Curoulet" and those of Jacques Puffeney who has retired. The tone was set from the outset: organic and biodynamic, moderate yields, collection in small containers, pneumatic press, ageing in barrels and tuns. This rigour for "gastronomic, vibrant, energetic and precise wines"! "Le savagnin ouillé" 2017 with whom we had the chance to get to know differs from many of its peers. A "Monsieur" certainly still rustic, but with a comfortable potential for good cellaring. Discreet in the mouth, it releases roundness and minerality on the palate. A festival when all this is "melted".
