Rolet Arbois Savagnin "Ouillé" 2023

Alcohol: 13%

Grape(s): 100% Savagnin

Localization: Arbois, Jura, France

Tasting Notes: Non-oxidative "ouillé" style, kept topped-up in barrel to preserve freshness. A lemony, invigorating palate of juicy citrus acidity, with aromas of cedar and pear, ginger, confit lemon and bay leaf.

Food Pairing: A natural match for Comté and other mountain cheeses, roast chicken, or richer fish dishes.

The Domain: It was Désiré Rolet who in 1942 began making wine in the small region of the Jura in eastern France. In 1958, his 4 children all decided to stay in the family business and took over from their father. Since that time the domaine has risen in prominence in the region and acquired prime old vine vineyards in the appellations of Arbois and Côtes du Jura. From the beginning, quality farming has been the focus; today the domaine is undergoing a complete conversion to organic farming, which in their steep-sloped vineyards can be quite difficult indeed. No herbicides or pesticides are ever used and the soils are constantly ploughed – creating beautiful, healthy vineyards. The commitment to quality viticulture extends into the cellar where they produce balanced, mineral-driven wines that can only come from the Jura.
