Arbois
Visit Arbois wines embody the excellence of the Jura terroir, offering a remarkable diversity of flavors, from bright white to structured red, via the emblematic vins de paille and vins jaunes. The Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) status for Arbois wines was established by a decree dated May 15, 1936, marking the first time this label was awarded in France. The delimited region for the production of Arbois wines includes the communes of Abergement-le-Grand, Arbois, Les Arsures, Mathenay, Mesnay, Molamboz, Montigny-lès-Arsures, Les Planches-près-Arbois, Pupillin, Saint-Cyr-Montmalin, Vadans, and Villette-lès-Arbois, all located in the Jura.

The terroir of Arbois wines, characterized by a hilly landscape of limestone and scree, is composed of deep, dense, siliceous clay marls. With 843 hectares dedicated to vines, this appellation is the largest and most renowned in the Jura. Among the region's producers, Domain Stéphane Tissot stands out for the excellence of its Arbois appellation wines.

The 42,000 hectolitres produced annually are divided between dry, lively white wines, with aromas reminiscent of vin jaune, and red wines, which account for 70% of production. There are also vins de paille and vins jaunes, similar to those produced at Château-Chalon. Arbois is also famous for its dry, aromatic rosés, made mainly from the Poulsard grape. In addition to Poulsard, the five grape varieties eligible for AOC Arbois include Chardonnay, Savagnin, Pinot Noir and Trousseau. For more information, visit the Arbois wines website.

"This Savagnin takes its time before revealing all its subtleties!

After 3 years in casks with regular topping up, this Arbois 100% Savagin expresses itself with notes of spices and white fruits. Citrus fruits such as grapefruit are also present. The finish is fresh and pleasant. It's the ideal cuvée for cream-based dishes or fine spice cuisine.

"A delicate marriage between an aged Savagnin and a Chardonnay, delicate and typical!"

"A typically atypical cuvée, with 80% Savagnin (part of which is under veil) and 20% Chardonnay from the 2015 and 2016 harvests. After a little aeration, the wine develops its bouquet of citrus and flint, with a lovely spicy roundness on the palate matched by a sapid, energetic finish." (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve)

"A true Jura treasure with exceptional ageing potential!

"The 2016 vin jaune is animated by a smoky character. The material is alert, clear, elegant, rather light for an Arbois yellow, even showing a certain thinness in the mid-palate." (Le Guide RVF 2024). Discover it today, when it expresses youth and exuberance, or wait 15 years.

"A great Jura wine for the discerning connoisseur!

Aged under glass for 6 years and 3 months in oak barrels as required by the appellation, this yellow wine is rich in flavor expression. The palate is full-bodied, with caramelized and subtly woody notes. Enjoy this wine with meat in morel sauce or tarte tatin. An absolute delight!

"Taste the typical Trousseau grape variety

Rolet's Trousseau 2021 presents aromas of red fruits, kirsch and sweet spices on the nose, with peppery notes typical of the grape variety. Powerful, the palate offers warm, jammy flavors of cooked strawberry, raspberry and some spicy, peppery nuances, as well as mature tannins.

"A great Jura wine for the discerning connoisseur!

"The 2015 vin jaune offers a powerful, typical veil taste, with lots of leather, comté rind.... The material is intense, broad on the attack, but tightens up in the mid-palate and is never overwhelmed by alcohol. Highly flavored, flamboyant, very Arboisian". (Le Guide RVF 2024)

"Behind its light color, Trousseau 2020 tiptoes towards you, with a tenuous nose, but very elegant if you pay attention, a mellow fruit, finely textured, very serene.
