Domaine Rolet Cremant du Jura Brut NV
The Wine
This sparkling is dry, fruity, light and gourmet. Fruit forward with aromas of white fruits, and subtle flowers notes, the palate is soft and elegant with beautiful bubbles and charming aromas of citrus fruits and a finish on a brioche flavour.
It's made from a blend of Chardonnay, Savagnin and Pinot Noir. All hand harvested, the grapes and then pressed, the second fermentation in bottle happens and the wine is aged for 12 months on lees before release.

About the Wine Maker 
I would have thought 1942 would’ve been an interesting time to start a winemaking venture in Jura… but for Monsieur Desiré Rolet the timing was perfect! The vinous journey he started has morphed into an an institution. In 1958 his four children joined the Domaine, subsequently expanding their holdings through the purchase of old vineyards across Arbois and Cotes du Jura. Rolet grow Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir.
The Domaine follows an organic path and uses ploughing extensively. Soils are quite varied and complex. The Domaine matches plantings to soils types - here the Trousseau is from the plot "en Levrin" that’s located north of Montigny-les-Arsures. Here the vines grow in the gray marl soils of the Lias (marine limestones, shales, marls and clays). In 2018 Cedric Ducote took over the reins, and has since doubled down on their organic pursuits.
This is a great source of wine that faithfully represents the terroir and ethos of the Jura!
