The Rolet estate spans over 64 hectares in the Jura, Arbois appellation. The wines are all of a high caliber, reflecting both the region's diverse terroirs and grape varieties, and an inimitable style, made of freshness, drinkability, and precision.
The Poulsard and Trousseau grapes provide the necessary fruitiness, while the Pinot Noir contributes complexity and freshness. The grapes are vinified separately to ensure that the identity and terroir are fully expressed. First, the grapes are harvested entirely by hand. This allows for the selection of the grapes in the vineyards themselves, which naturally enhances the final quality. The wines are aged separately in wooden barrels for 12 months. This preserves the character of each grape variety, and after three months, the wines are blended and bottled.
This light-colored red wine is beautifully balanced, with floral notes, red fruit, and slightly earthy aromas on the nose. The floral notes come from the Poulsard grape, while the Pinot Noir adds a touch of weight. This is also reflected in the taste. Fruity, juicy, and well-balanced with a lovely softness and a zesty minerality. The aromas and flavors continue into a long, pleasant finish. This wine pairs perfectly with meat dishes.
