Notes: RVF 16.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 16.5/20, Guide Hachette 3*** (Exceptional Wine)
“This old-gold straw-colored wine epitomizes the estate’s expertise, with a bouquet that drifts between dried apricots, honey, and prunes. On the palate, candied fruits blend with citrus notes to delicately envelop a silky texture tinged with a subtle freshness. Perfect with foie gras or dessert: this is a versatile sweet wine.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins)

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2011 guide) 16,5/20 (Reference wine)

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the wine:

Still subtle, with aromas of dried fruit and honey; rich and smooth on the palate, with a clean, balanced finish featuring notes of hazelnut and candied fruit. Best cellared to allow it to develop more intensity.

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 once considered comprehensive but inconsistent, with some fine examples Gems in older vintages. The wines have now regained a certain consistency in quality.

About the wine:

Is there any need to introduce this family of winemakers, who in just a few decades have built a vineyard of the highest caliber and flown the flag for the Jura far beyond its traditional marketing area? The technical rigor, commercial dynamism, and organizational skills of Désiré Rolet’s four children are ever-present, yielding vintage after vintage of exceptional wines—testaments to, and rewards for, their hard work. The first example of this expertise is this old-gold straw wine, whose aroma drifts between dried apricots, honey, and prunes. On the palate, candied fruits blend with citrus notes to delicately envelop a silky texture tinged with a subtle freshness. Whether paired with foie gras or dessert, this is a versatile sweet wine.

Wine rated (2014 guide) 16,5/20 (Very good wine)

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

The exuberant flavor profile of the 2005 straw wine will be utterly captivating.

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 distinct 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 their Burgundian wines—along with other shareholders. Under the leadership of Cédric Ducoté, the most recent vintages demonstrate greater stylistic confidence and more consistency, which we are delighted to see.
