Scores: RVF 17/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
“A refined and harmonious nose, with notes of almond and fresh walnut on the palate: this yellow wine exudes delicacy and purity. It has a very smooth texture, good balance, and is mellow without any dryness. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2013). A powerful and balanced wine!

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 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.

Review by Mr. SEBASTIEN G. Published on 11/03/2015
I wanted to try some Jura wines. The taste is very, very surprising. But then again, it’s a matter of taste... You have to decant it several hours before drinking it.
