“Red currant, strawberry, cherry, and forest fruits create an open, powerful nose. The fruitiness carries through to a structured palate—without being excessive—where a sense of freshness dominates.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
It is one of the largest estates in the Jura, with 65 hectares of vineyards spread across the Arbois, Côtes du Jura, and L’Étoile appellations. The lineup, which includes numerous cuvées of all types of wines (ouillés, sous voile, crémants, macvin, paille, and jaune), with a majority of whites, was considered comprehensive but inconsistent, with some fine Gems s in older vintages. The wines have regained a certain consistency in quality.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine noted (guide 2026) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the wine:
Sulfite-free winemaking using indigenous yeasts, with cold pre-fermentation maceration for 3 days and 17 days of fermentation in vats. 10% of the cuvée is aged in used barrels and large oak casks for 7 months. Red currant, strawberry, cherry, and forest floor notes create an open and powerful nose. The fruitiness carries through to a structured palate—yet never excessive—where a sense of freshness prevails.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 91/100
Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the wine:
The reds have gained in purity and brilliance. This is evident in the crystal-clear 2023 vintages, which are still reserved but have a relaxed character, with a focus on fruit.
About the estate:
The Arbois appellation owes a great deal to the Rolet estate. While it has managed over the years to maintain its own distinctive style—a blend of classic winemaking rooted in Jura traditions and strong technical expertise—the estate has not always achieved consistency across its entire range. The wines characterized by aging under a veil (particularly the yellow wines of Arbois) are the most consistently successful. In the spring of 2018, the estate and its vineyards were acquired by the Devillard family—well known for its Burgundian wines—along with other shareholders. Under the leadership of Cédric Ducoté, recent vintages have shown greater stylistic confidence and more consistency, which we are delighted to see.
