Note: RVF 15/20
An Arbois made from the Trousseau grape variety, dominated by aromas of morello cherry, followed by strawberry, a hint of blackberry, and the spicy notes so characteristic of this variety. It has a strong presence; it’s best to let it age a bit so that its complex aromas can develop into warm, jam-like flavors of cooked strawberry... Quite a treat!

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 range, which includes numerous cuvées of all types of wine (ouillé, sous voile, crémant, macvin, paille, and jaune), with a majority of whites, was considered comprehensive but uneven, with some fine Gems older vintages. The wines have regained a certain consistency in quality.

About the estate:
The Arbois appellation owes a great deal to the Rolet estate. While it has managed over the years to maintain a distinctive style—a blend of classic winemaking rooted in Jura traditions and 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 their Burgundy production, along with other shareholders. Under the leadership of Cédric Ducoté, the latest vintages show greater stylistic confidence and more consistency, which we are delighted to see.
