"Naturé 2012 is much more expressive, fine and floral, endowed with a beautiful vivacity." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 - RVF). A powerful Arbois with rich, mature notes, lots of minerality and spice, and a delicate vanilla note. A Savagnin in its original form and personality, with minerality, freshness and an empyreumatic side... An astonishing wine!

Domaine Rolet
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.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2015 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:
The Naturé 2012 Chardonnay is much more expressive, fine and floral, with a lovely liveliness.
About the domain :
The Arbois appellation owes much 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 in the breadth of its range. Wines typified by maturation under sail (in particular the yellow wines of Arbois) 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.
