"Of the three 2022 reds presented, our clear preference is for the Trousseau, a clear, highly expressive wine with irresistible, piquant fruit, between raspberry and wild strawberry, with no trace of ageing." (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Arbois
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
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.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (Guide 2025) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the wine:
Cold-macerated for 3 days, then vatted for 17 days, this cherry-colored Trousseau was aged in old barrels for 7 months. Red fruits are immediately apparent on the nose, morello cherry in particular. The palate is rather strict, but the wine has good length.

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:
Of the three 2022 reds presented, our clear preference is for the Trousseau, a clear, highly expressive wine with irresistible, piquant fruit, between raspberry and wild strawberry, with no trace of ageing.
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.
