Domaine Rolet Père et Fils, established in 1942 by Désiré Rolet, is a prominent family-owned winery in the Jura region of France. Over the years, the estate has expanded to approximately 65 hectares, making it one of the largest independent wine producers in the area.

The winery cultivates all five traditional Jura grape varieties: Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir. This diverse cultivation allows Domaine Rolet to produce a wide range of wines, including whites, reds, rosés, and the region's renowned Vin Jaune and Vin de Paille.

In 2018, the estate was acquired by the Devillard family, experienced vintners from Burgundy, along with the Dupuis and Flambert families. Under their stewardship, Domaine Rolet has continued to uphold its commitment to quality and tradition, while also embracing sustainable viticultural practices.

The wines of Domaine Rolet are celebrated for their expression of the Jura terroir, offering a balance of tradition and innovation that appeals to both connoisseurs and casual wine enthusiasts.

The Jura wine region, nestled between Burgundy and Switzerland in eastern France, is renowned for its unique wines and ancient winemaking traditions. Despite its small size, Jura boasts a diverse range of wines that reflect its distinctive terroir and climate, influenced by its limestone-rich soils and cool temperatures.

Jura is best known for its indigenous grape varieties, including Savagnin, Trousseau, and Poulsard, alongside more familiar Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The region produces a wide array of styles, from crisp and mineral-driven whites to light and earthy reds. Its most iconic wine, Vin Jaune (Yellow Wine), is made from Savagnin and aged under a layer of yeast in barrels for at least six years, developing complex nutty and oxidative notes.

The sparkling Crémant du Jura and the sweet Vin de Paille (Straw Wine) add to the region's diverse offerings, making it a haven for wine enthusiasts seeking something distinct. Jura’s wines pair beautifully with local cuisine, such as Comté cheese, further highlighting the region’s deep culinary ties.

With its combination of heritage, innovation, and unique flavours, Jura offers a truly memorable wine experience.
