Description
Domaine Rolet, Arbois Trousseau
Rolet is one of the largest family-owned wine estates in the Jura, with about 65 hectares of vines spread across its major sub-appellations, including Arbois and Côtes du Jura. Founded by Désiré Rolet in the early 1940s, it has been run by his four children—Bernard, Guy, Pierre, and Eliane—for decades now, with all farming done sustainably and plantings split among the Jura’s classic varieties: Chardonnay and Savagnin for the whites, and Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir for the reds. They are a reliable source for the full Jura style spectrum, including a Champagne-method sparkler (Crémant du Jura) and the full assortment of oxidized and/or sweet styles the Jura is known for, such as the Sherry-like Vin Jaune (“yellow wine”); the sweet Vin de Paille (“straw wine”); and the fortified/sweet Macvin du Jura.
