Domaine Rolet - Macvin du Jura blanc
"The Jura's dessert wine!"
A blend of an aged Marc (aged for over 6 years in oak barrels) and Chardonnay and Savagnin musts, this wine reveals this harmonious combination in its rich and well-balanced palate. The nose transports us with aromas of figs, currants, and subtle floral notes. It’s perfect as an aperitif, paired with melon or a nut-based dessert, and has the advantage of keeping well when refrigerated after opening.

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 lineup, which includes numerous cuvées of all types of wines (ouillés, sous voile, crémants, macvin, paille, and jaune), with a majority of whites, was considered comprehensive but inconsistent, with some fine Gems s in 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 its own distinctive 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 its Burgundian wines—along with other shareholders. Under the leadership of Cédric Ducoté, recent vintages have shown greater stylistic confidence and more consistency, which we are delighted to see.
