Red dry
Full of vibrant acidity, youthful energy, and silky tannins, this wine is made from grapes grown on the slopes of Montesserin, where marl and gravel soils dominate. The wines from different grape varieties are aged separately for 12 months in French oak barrels. Just two months before bottling, the wines are blended together and aged further as one. Aromas of pomegranate, cherry, plum sauce, brown sugar, and allspice. A long red-berry finish.
Serve at 13–15 °C with dried and cured meat dishes, roast lamb with thyme, poultry pâté or soft cheeses.
Domaine Rolet was founded in 1942 by Désiré Rolet before being passed on to his children. Today, the Domaine's vines average 45 years old and span 65ha across the Jura region of Eastern France, with vineyards in the AOCs of Arbois, Cotes du Jura, l'Etoile, and Chateau-Chalon.Classic Jura varieties are planted across steep slopes on appropriate soils; Chardonnay (light marls), Savagnin (grey marls), Poulsard (red & blue marls), Trousseau (heavy gravels) and Pinot Noir (light marls). Vines are tended through organic farming practices, and hand-harvested each year producing yields between 15-50 hl. Further sorting ensures that only the best quality grapes are seen through to barrel. Most wines are aged for around 18 months in oak, replacing a quarter of their barrels each year.The resulting wines have gained the Domaine a reputation for excellence with wine professionals and drinkers alike with their purity and concentration.
