Bettane & Desseauve

"Fat, dense, slightly saline, with a good overall liveliness, this savagnin with its well-adjusted veil leaves a fresh, stretched mouthfeel." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). A very complex wine, in the great tradition of typical Côtes du Jura whites with lots of expression, where green walnuts dominate. A fine expression of Côtes du Jura and vintage!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2014 guide) 15/20 (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:

Full-bodied, dense, slightly saline, with good overall liveliness, this Savagnin with its well-adjusted veil leaves a fresh, extended mouthfeel.

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

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 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.
