TASTING NOTES
This distinctively tangy, lively Chardonnay is delicate on first sniff, but has great underlying concentration. Understated creamy stone fruit meets chalky minerality on the beautifully balanced palate.
PRODUCER
Domaine Rolet, founded in the early 1940s, is Jura’s largest family- owned estate. The second generation – four siblings – now run the show: Bernard and Guy look after the sixty hectares of vines as well as the winemaking, while Pierre and Eliane handle the commercial side. The vines are old, the yields low, and the vinification meticulous, leading to brilliant, precise expressions of Jura’s distinctive wine styles.
VINEYARD
The grapes were harvested by hand from vines aged forty years and over, planted on light red marl soils in the commune of Montigny.
WINERY
After a slow pressing and settling of the juice, fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then aged for a year in barriques, with ten percent new oak.
