Côtes du Jura Tradition Domaine Rolet 2016

The wine

Blended in equal quantities, the Chardonnay and Savagnin grapes come from a particularly rare marl soil at the heart of the AOC Arbois. Produced attentively, the domain opted for harvesting and sorting by hand as well as a four-year maturation in oak barrels. Its pale colour reveals a delicate and complex aromatic bouquet marked by notes of dried fruits, typical of its maturation. It can be enjoyed within ten years alongside a creamy dish, mushrooms, or spicy recipes.

About the Producer Rolet

Created in the 1960s by M. Rolet, the eponymous domaine is the second largest in the Jura region, spanning 62 heactres. The property was passed on to his children Élyane, Pierre, Bernard and Guy who sold it in 2018 to the well-known Burgundian wine family, the Devillards (of Château de Chamirey, Domaine de la Ferté, Domaine des Perdrix and Domaine de la Garenne fame). No doubt this domaine, which already produced wonderful wines, will continue to impress in the years to come.
