Domaine Rolet
Crémant du Jura Blanc Brut

During his presidency of the Société de viticulture du Jura, Pierre Rolet was instrumental in the creation of the AOC Crémant du Jura in 1995. This traditional method sparkling wine was previously simply referred to as a mousseux. This traditional method sparkling is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 10% Savagnin, with equal parts Trousseau, Poulsard, and Pinot Noir filling out the rest, coming off estate vineyards in Arbois, Passenas, and Le Vernnois. The wine was whole cluster pressed and fermented at low temperature (18°C) in stainless, with no MLF, and spent a minimum of 1 year on lees in bottle prior to disgorge. Dosage 6g/L. The creamy palate is shaped by tight green apple, crunchy pear, ripe red apple, and light meringue, finishing with a lemon peel twist and a lingering chalkiness, thanks to the region's marl soils.
