2023 Arbois Chardonnay Rolet Jura

Domaine Rolet’s 2023 Arbois Chardonnay is a cracking white wine from a historic estate founded in 1942 by Désiré Rolet.

Spanning 65 hectares across eastern France's Jura region, it is now expertly run by Cédric Ducoté and the Devillard family, who utilize entirely estate-grown fruit. Harvested from a beautifully sun-drenched, ripe 2023 vintage, these 30-year-old vines thrive on steep hillsides composed of grey marl and limestone gravel bedrock. This unique terroir infuses the liquid with spectacular mineral weight and fresh tension. Your glass will sing with vibrant aromas of lemon blossom, crisp yellow apple, and toasted almond, shifting into a beautifully textured, slightly buttery mouthfeel with a lovely hint of popcorn on the finish. It is the ultimate matchmaking partner for a warm, gooey Mont d’Or cheese, pan-fried trout, or a creamy chicken fricassee.
