Domaine du Pélican Arbois Savagnin Oiullé 2018

Dried apricot, chamomile, marzipan and sage weave together with a distinctly waxy, oily texture that feels completely at home with the wine's savory edge. A whisper of reduction adds intrigue rather than distraction. What's remarkable is how the exotic richness never overwhelms, there's a live-wire minerality and freshness running underneath that keeps everything alert and precise. Eye-opening stuff.
