Domaine Rolet Arbois Vin Jaune

This estate, founded in 1942, has risen to prominence by acquiring prime parcels of old vines. They own 65 hectares and cultivate all five varieties found in Jura. Now run by a young, dynamic winemaking team, with a commitment to striking the right balance between tradition and modernity. Harvesting all grapes by hand, and they are in conversion to organic viticulture.

The Domaine Rolet Arbois Vin Jaune is from the savagnin grape. Ageing under flor for eight years. Only half of their savagnin wine is kept for the Vin Jaune, the remainder is declassified into their savagnin, chardonnay blend.

• This is an exceptionally fresh, dry and nutty wine
• Considerable ageing potential
• An excellent example of this unique, revered style of wine
