Rolet Père & Fils - Côtes du Jura Chardonnay Savagnin 2005
Note: RVF 16/20
A very refined, complex white wine—half Chardonnay, half Savagnin—in the grand tradition of the distinctive whites of the Côtes du Jura, with plenty of personality, where notes of green walnut harmoniously dominate. A remarkable expression, very representative of the vintage!

Light, bright, golden-yellow color with beautiful legs
Nose
Very delicate and complex, it takes a while to open up; the wine needs to breathe, after which notes of green walnut and candied fruit emerge
Palate
Very complex, in the grand tradition of the distinctive white wines of the Côtes du Jura, with great depth of flavor, where notes of green walnut dominate. A fine expression of the Côtes du Jura and the vintage

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.

The Savagnin stands out with its distinct nutty flavor. You either love it or hate it, but it’s undeniably a fine wine.
