Creata negli anni ’60 da Désiré Rolet, la tenuta è il secondo vigneto più esteso dello Jura ed occupa una superficie di 62 ettari. La proprietà è stata acquisita in seguito dai figli Élyane, Pierre, Bernard e Guy, che hanno deciso di venderla nel 2018. È stata acquistata dalla celebre famiglia Devillard, molto nota in Borgogna per lo Château de Chamirey, il Domaine de la Ferté, il Domaine des Perdrix e il Domaine de la Garenne. Questa tenuta, che già produce ottimi vini, farà senza dubbio parlare di sé nei prossimi anni.

The Rolet domain cultivates the second largest vineyard in the Jura with 66 hectares spread across the main appellations and is an essential estate for all Jura wine lovers. This oxidative Savagnin was grown on a south-facing plot in the hamlet of “Virhou”, along the slopes of the village of Voiteur. The organic vines are rooted in grey marl and fossil-rich limestone soil.
The winery uses traditional vinification techniques where the grapes are harvested and sorted by hand and then directly pressed. The wines are aged slowly – for nearly five years – sous voile, meaning the wine is matured under a layer of yeast that forms naturally while in the barrels. This long maturation gives the Savagnin its distinctive nose of walnuts, forest floor and a hint of citrus, with a robust palate marked by a pleasant acidity illustrated by notes of green apple and fresh walnut with a seductively long finish. This wine should be enjoyed within fifteen years and accompanied by a cheese platter or a walnut tarte.
