WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine du Pelican Savagnin Macération Pelliculaire is a highly sought-after wine produced by the renowned winemaker, Guillaume d'Angerville, in the Jura region of France. This wine is made from the Savagnin grape variety, which is grown in the biodynamically farmed vineyards of the domaine. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a maceration pelliculaire process, where the juice is left in contact with the skins for an extended period, resulting in a wine with a deep golden color and complex aromas of nuts, spices, and citrus. The wine is aged in oak barrels, adding a subtle hint of vanilla and toast to the flavor profile. The Domaine du Pelican Savagnin Macération Pelliculaire is a unique and elegant wine that showcases the terroir of the Jura region and the skill of the winemaker.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine du Pelican
Region: Jura
Jura is a small wine region in eastern France, with a unique terroir and a long history of winemaking. Jura is bordered by Switzerland and the Rhône-Alpes region. It is known for its distinctive white wines, made from the local Savagnin grape, as well as its reds and rosés.
Jura has been producing wine since the Roman era, and its winemaking tradition has been passed down through the generations. In the Middle Ages, the region was known for its sweet wines, which were popular throughout Europe. In the 19th century, the region began to focus on dry wines, and the local Savagnin grape became the main variety used.CUSTOMER RATING
