Producer Information

Domaine Rolet is an emblematic estate located in the Jura and extends over the four Jura appellations: Arbois, Chteau-Chalon, Ctes du Jura and Etoile, spread over 65 hectares. Domaine Rolet vinifies only the grapes grown in its own vineyards, harvested by hand only. The domaine cultivates the 5 typical Jurassian grape varieties: Chardonnay and Savagnin for white wines, Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir for the red wines. Each vine is planted on the soil best matched to the specific grape variety to produce high quality wines. The estate was created in 1942 by Dsir Rolet, then taken over in 1958 by his children, Eliane, Bernard, Guy and Pierre who joined him. The vineyard then developed in the communes of Voiteur, then Passenans and finally Etoile. The vines are planted on beautiful hillsides, sometimes with steep slopes making the soil difficult to work. The caterpillars are preferred to tractors because they are lighter, thus creating less compaction on the soil. They pass over the grassy strips of the vineyard between the intentionally unplanted 5th and 6th vineyard row. Since June 2018, Cdric Ducot has taken over the direction of the Estate, and is working with ambition and meticulous precision to continue to produce typical Jura wines of high quality. Since his arrival, the reflection to work in organic culture was initiated and in 2020, a part of the vineyards are now in organic conversion.
