Founded in 1942 by Dsir Rolet, Domaine Rolet stands as an iconic producer of Jura wines. Managed by Dsirs children Eliane, Bernard, Guy, and Pierre, the estate expanded its vineyards across four Jura appellations – Arbois, Chteau-Chalon, Ctes du Jura, and Etoile. Since 2018, the winery has been under the direction of Cdric Ducot. The estate’s 65 hectares of vineyards predominantly grow Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir grapes, all harvested by hand for their production. This particular wine has benefited from several years of bottle aging, displaying a slightly evolved character. Its color is a light garnet red at the core, fading into a brickish tinge at the rim. Aromas of wild blackcurrant, kirsch, forest floor, tobacco, and mushroom dominate the nose. The wine’s fine tannins and dried sour cherry flavors are well-balanced by its prominent acidity, leading to an earthy and light finish.
