The property

Since 1942, the Domaine Rolet, located in Arbois in the heart of the Jura vineyard, perpetuates the family viticultural tradition by producing exceptional wines. Founded by Désiré Rolet, the estate was developed by his 4 children who expanded the vineyard and modernized the facilities. In 2018, two families passionate about wine and the Jura region took over the estate, marking a new stage in its history. 

The vineyard

Domaine Rolet extends over 65 hectares, of which 55 hectares are in production, spread over the 4 geographical appellations of Jura: Côtes du Jura (Le Vernois, Lavigny), Château-Chalon, l’Étoile and Arbois (Arbois, Montigny les Arsures). Benefiting from a mosaic of exposures ranging from southeast to northwest, the vineyard ensures optimal ripening of the grapes and gives these Jura wines a great aromatic richness. The clay-limestone soils, blue marls and limestone scree bring minerality and complexity to the wines. The semi-continental climate, with cold winters and hot, dry summers, promotes the ripening of the grapes and allows for balanced and elegant wines. The estate practices sustainable agriculture, respectful of the environment and biodiversity.
