Domaine Rolet Père et Fils

France

May 27

Domaine Rolet was founded in 1942 by Désiré Rolet. The children eventually took over the business, and the winery gradually acquired premium vineyards across all four Jura appellations including Arbois, Côtes du Jura, Étoile and Château-Chalon. Their 60 hectares of estate vineyards are beautiful slopes with different orientation and different types of soil allowing them to cultivate the 5 local grapes.

Since June 2018, the Flambert and Dupuis families began running the domaine, both passioned by the Jura and its wines. The wines are in the same spirit initiated by the Rolet family, with a philosophy to maintain a style of typical Jura wines, and continue the same conviction to meticulous work in the vineyard. The grapes are always handpicked, and each plot is harvested and vinified separately, with wines fermented wild with no inputs save for small amounts of SO2. Since 2018, the vineyards have been in conversion to organic.
