Arbois Poulsard Vieilles Vignes Domaine Rolet 1997

The wine

This single-variety Jura Poulsard was made using harvests by hand, fermentation and maturation in vats for a year. Its intense, garnet colour gives off evolved notes of earth and gentle spices. Its tannic structure brings great persistence of its flavours and a great ageing potential.

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.
