ABOUT THE PRODUCER
About Domaine Rolet L’Étoile en Novalet Chardonnay
Domaine Rolet L’Étoile en Novalet Chardonnay is grown on the hills near Lons Le Saunier, with distinguished soils of grey-blue marls and star-shaped fossils called pentacrine, after which this small appellation was named. Their plot, en Novalet, is located in the village of Planoiseau. L’étoile is fermented in barrique, where it ages for a year before bottling. There’s a lovely flinty reduction shaping this savory medium-bodied Chardonnay, with crushed stones, lemon peel, green apple, and a white grapefruit cut that lingers on the saline finish.
About Domaine Rolet Pere et Fils
Domaine Rolet, created in 1942 by Désiré Rolet, constitutes one of the jewels of the Jura vineyards. His 4 children: Pierre, Eliane, Guy, and Bernard then took over by distributing roles within the Domaine. In the space of 2 generations, the Rolet family, thanks to hard work, has risen among the references of the vineyard. Its wines reflect all the richness of the terroir through the wide range of local grape varieties and all its appellations: Arbois, Côtes du Jura, L’Étoile, and Château-Chalon. In white, Chardonnay, and Savagnin (a variety among others of the prestigious yellow wine). In red, Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir.
It is a long-term evolution with the desire to maintain a precise balance between tradition and modernity as has reigned at the estate for 8 decades. Expressing the rich diversity of Jura wines and their identity has been the keyword of the estate to achieve a level of excellence recognized vintage after vintage.
It is the team then in place that is now working to write a new page while respecting the Rolet identity under the leadership of Cédric DUCOTÉ, Manager; Chloé WEBER, Cellar Master and Louis MOREL, Head of cultivation.
