Domaine Rolet - Côtes du Jura Tradition (Chardonnay Savagnin) 2018
91/100
RVF
"A beautiful expression of the Côtes du Jura"
A very fine and elegant Côte du Jura made from a blend of Savagnin and Chardonnay grapes and aged in an unusual way. It is aged under a veil of lees for three years, in oak barrels for the Savagnin and in topped-up casks for the Chardonnay. A duo playing a harmony of roundness and freshness, combining notes of dried fruit and nuts complemented by a touch of fine spices. An expressive cuvée that will improve over the next 25 years.

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little 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 vines spread across 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 considered comprehensive but uneven, with some fine Gems the older vintages. The wines are now regaining a certain consistency in quality.

About the estate:
The Arbois appellation owes much to the Rolet estate. While it has managed to maintain its own style over the years, combining classic winemaking rooted in Jura traditions with 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 spring 2018, the estate and its vineyard 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 increased stylistic confidence and greater consistency, which we are delighted to see.
