Arbois Cuvée Mémorial Domaine Rolet 1994

The wine

This blend of Trousseau and Pinot Noir was matured for three months in vats then for nine months in oak barrels. Its deep colour exudes a fresh aromatic bouquet that evokes little, black fruits like blackcurrant. These notes are found on the palate and completed by a lightly spiced finish, evidence of its maturation in wood. Enjoyed within its first ten years, it will pair perfectly with a dish like small game or mushroom gratin.

About the Producer Rolet

Created in the 1960s by M. Rolet, the eponymous domaine is the second largest in the Jura region, spanning 62 heactres. The property was passed on to his children Élyane, Pierre, Bernard and Guy who sold it in 2018 to the well-known Burgundian wine family, the Devillards (of Château de Chamirey, Domaine de la Ferté, Domaine des Perdrix and Domaine de la Garenne fame). No doubt this domaine, which already produced wonderful wines, will continue to impress in the years to come.
