Domaine Rolet : Coeur de Chardonnay 2020

The refinement and precision of a Crémant du Jura

The estate

Since 1942, Domaine Rolet, located in Arbois in the heart of the Jura vineyards, has perpetuated the family winemaking tradition by producing exceptional wines. Founded by Désiré Rolet, the estate was developed by his son Bernard, who expanded the vineyard and modernized the facilities. In 1989, Gilles Rolet took over and continued the family legacy by creating wines renowned for their elegance and aromatic expression. In 2018, three families passionate about wine and the Jura region took over the estate, marking a new chapter in its history 

The vineyard

The Domaine Rolet vineyard spans 66 hectares across the best terroirs of Arbois, Pupillin, Montigny-lès-Arsures and Abergement-le-Grand. Benefiting from a mosaic of exposures ranging from southeast to northwest, the vineyard ensures optimal grape ripening and gives these Jura wines great aromatic richness. The clay-limestone soils, blue marls and limestone scree bring minerality and complexity to the wines. The semi-continental climate, with cold winters and hot, dry summers, promotes grape maturation and allows the production of balanced and elegant wines. The estate practices sustainable agriculture, respectful of the environment and biodiversity.
