    2022 Domaine Rolet L'etoile Chardonnay

    • $72.00

    This elegant Chardonnay is a great introduction to a wine from that region as it's similar to a white Burgundy Chardonnay and it's not oxidised (like other wines from this particular region). The wine is aged in big oak barrels which makes this wine complex retaining an amazing acidity and freshness. Golden color, notes of dried fruits, almonds and halzenuts, the palate is textural and good acidity remained. 

    The term "Etoile" refers to the tiny fossilles we can find in those vineyards, which has the star shape. 

    Domaine Rolet was established in the Jura region of France by Désiré Rolet in 1942. In the decades following, the Domaine acquired prime old vine vineyards in Arbois and Côtes du Jura, and has grown to become one of the most prominent producers of the region. 

    The Domaine farms sustainably, with parts in organic conversion. No synthetic chemicals are used, and the soils are constantly ploughed creating beautiful, healthy vineyards. Grapes are harvested by hand, which is difficult work among the steep slopes of Arbois and Cotes du Jura. The commitment to quality viticulture extends into the cellar where they produce balanced, mineral-driven wines that could only come from the Jura. The wines always exhibit a focused purity and intensity of flavour which maintain the cool climate typicity of this mountainous region.
