"Chardonnay and Savagnin link up harmoniously, offering a great saline juice, long, engaging, with beautiful complexity." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve 2019) Beautiful volume and typicity brought by the Savagnin, balanced by the tension and minerality of the Chardonnay. A superb introduction to the typicity of Jura wines!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2018 guide) 15.5/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
Chardonnay and Savagnin come together harmoniously, offering a great, long, engaging, saline juice of great complexity.
About the domain :
This is one of the largest estates in the Jura, with 65 hectares of vines spread over the Arbois, Côtes du Jura and L'Étoile appellations. The range, which includes numerous cuvées of all types of wine (ouillés, sous voile, crémants, macvin, paille and jaune), with a majority of whites, was reputed to be complete but uneven, with some fine Gems in the older vintages. The wines have now regained a certain unity of quality.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the wine:
Beautiful typicity, slender body, green walnut and comté, fluid and expressive.
About the domain :
The Arbois appellation owes a great deal to Domaine Rolet. Although over the years it has managed to preserve its own style, a combination of classic Jura craftsmanship and technical mastery, the domaine has not always achieved homogeneity across its range. Wines typified by maturation under sail (in particular Arbois yellow wines) are the most consistently successful. In spring 2018, the estate and its vineyards were acquired by the Devillard family, well known for their Burgundy production, along with other shareholders. Under the aegis of Cédric Ducoté the latest vintages show increased stylistic assurance and more consistency, we are delighted.

Note and review by M. PATRICE P. Published on 25/11/2019
The palate is full of dried nuts (walnut, hazelnut, almond) and chestnuts, with a lovely minerality provided by the chardonnay. 17à 17*/20. Suitable for poultry with mushrooms (morels) and cream.
