Domaine Rolet is considered one of the flagship wines of the Jura d?partement, a wine region located between Burgundy and Switzerland. This region's cool climate wine region expresses itself in a range of white and red grapes that typically enjoy cooler climates. The most planted grapes in the region are Chardonnay and Savagnin; a specialty to this area, which has traditionally been vinified under a veil of yeast, not unlike the aging of sherry but with quite different results in terms of aromas and flavour, which can be complex, savoury and nutty. The main red grapes in Jura are Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir.
This wine is a Vin Jaune; an oxidative style of wine from this region, made under the veil of yeast indigenous to Jura. This is a very good quality example of the style and bottled in a 620ml bottle, traditionally know as a clavelin.
