Arbois 1989 "Rosé" - Domaine Rolet

Created in 1942 by Désiré Rolet, the Rolet estate is one of the jewels of the Jura vineyards. Two generations succeeded one another at the head of the estate before they handed over to three families passionate about wine and the Jura, including a family of Burgundy winegrowers.

The wines of Domaine Rolet express all the richness of the Jura terroir through a wide range of local grape varieties (Chardonnay and Savagnin for the whites, Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot noir for the reds) and several appellations: Arbois, Côtes du Jura, L'Etoile and Château-Chalon.

This vintage is made from a blend of dominant Poulsard and Pinot Noir to a lesser extent.

Tasted in December 2021 : We didn't expect much from it, but we had to try it "for science". We were pleasantly surprised by the freshness it still offers. On the nose, the fruits are still there, discreet certainly, but there. As soon as you open it, it will offer you notes of raspberries, strawberries and blackcurrants. The palate is fresh, the tannins are still present to ensure a pleasant structure. A nice discovery for lovers of old wines that are out of the ordinary.
