Produced by Domaine Rolet, the second largest estate in the Jura Wine Region, an estate founded in 1942 by Mr Desire Rolet. Today remains a family firm winery after being acquired by the Devillard family back in 2018.

The grapes are sourced from the plot “En Novalet” on a soil rich in grey marls and well exposed slopes in the village of Planoiseau under the appellation of L´Étoilet, an Apellation in the Jura wine region for white wines and vins jaunes only. Here the chardonnay gives elegant wine with a lot of character and ageing potential.

Winemaking:

Manual harvesting and sorting. Fermented in barrique, and ages in the same barriques for a year before being bottled.

Tasting notes:

Intense, youthful, pure green fruits, lees, pear, lemon and green apples with perfectly integrated acidity, mouth-filling but subtle with a good length and a lovely touch of hazelnuts coming through on the finish.
