91/100
RVF
"A superb introduction to the typical Jura wines".
"As usual, the white wines matured under veil are the perfect ambassadors of Jura's "typical taste". Toasted walnuts for the cuvée Tradition (a blend of chardonnay aged 4 years in tuns, toasted, and savagnin aged 4 years in barrels under veil), which combines aromatic power, fleshiness and fresh elan" (Le Guide de la RVF 2026).

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 are regaining a certain unity of quality.

About the wine:
As usual, the voile-aged whites are the perfect ambassadors of Jura's "typical taste". Toasted walnuts for the cuvée Tradition (a blend of chardonnay aged 4 years in tuns, toasted, and savagnin aged 4 years in barrels under veil), which combines aromatic power, fleshiness and fresh élan.
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 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.
