Domaine Rolet - Tradition Arbois Rouge 2023
Domaine Rolet is an emblematic estate located in the Jura and extends over the four Jura appellations: Arbois, Château-Chalon, Côtes du Jura and Etoile, spread over 65 hectares.
Domaine Rolet vinifies only the grapes grown in its own vineyards, harvesting only by hand. The domaine cultivates the five typical Jurassian grape varieties: Chardonnay and Savagnin for white wines, Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir for the red wines. Each vine is planted on the soil best matched to the specific grape variety to produce high quality wines.
The estate was created in 1942 by Désiré Rolet, then taken over in 1958 by his children, Eliane, Bernard, Guy and Pierre who joined him. The vineyards were developed in the communes of Voiteur, then Passenans and finally Etoile. The vines are planted on beautiful hillsides, sometimes with steep slopes making the soil difficult to work. Tracked vehicles are preferred to regular tractors because they are lighter, thus creating less compaction on the soil. They pass over the grassy strips of the vineyard between the intentionally unplanted 5th and 6th vineyard row.
Domaine Rolet was purchased in 2018 by a team that includes the Devillard family, vignerons in Burgundy and owners of the estates Chamirey in Mercurey and des Perdix à Nuits St. George. Cédric Ducoté has taken over the direction of the Estate, working with zeal and meticulous precision to continue to produce typical Jura wines of high quality. Since his arrival, there has been a shift towards natural practices, with a fraction of the estate being currently converted to organic farming.
