Domaine Rolet Trousseau 2023
The Wine
On first sip, the pleasure of this Trousseau is immediately evident, it’s direct and permeates the entire palate! There is poise, freshness and purity, the tannins just melt in the mouth. It’s sourced from hand harvested 40+ year old vines, with subtle scents of strawberries, raspberries and black cherries with a kiss of spice and earth. Great introduction to the Jura and Trousseau. YUM YUM Trousseau! TC

About the Wine Maker 
Starting a winemaking venture in Jura in 1942 might seem unusual, but for Monsieur Desiré Rolet, it was the perfect moment. His journey in wine has grown into a true institution. In 1958, his four children joined the Domaine, expanding its reach by acquiring old vineyards across Arbois and Côtes du Jura. Rolet cultivates Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir.
The Domaine embraces an organic approach, relying heavily on ploughing. The soils are diverse and complex, with plantings matched to specific soil types. The Trousseau, for example, comes from the “en Levrin” plot north of Montigny-les-Arsures, where vines thrive in the gray marl soils of the Lias—marine limestones, shales, marls, and clays. In 2018, Cedric Ducote took over, further strengthening their commitment to organic practices.
This is a great source of wine that faithfully represents the terroir and ethos of the Jura!
