Tasting notes
The 2022 Domaine Rolet 'L'Etoile' Chardonnay features a lively attack, a palate supported by tension, and a good amplitude from barrel aging. It displays a golden color with notes of dried fruits, almonds, and hazelnuts. The palate is textural, with good acidity remaining. This Chardonnay is a great introduction to Jura wines, as it resembles a white Burgundy Chardonnay without being oxidized.
More About The Domaine
Domaine Rolet is one of the most iconic estates in the Jura region, renowned for showcasing the area’s full diversity of terroirs and grape varieties. Founded on a vision that bridges tradition and modernity, the domaine produces an extensive range of wines — from expressive Savagnin and Chardonnay whites to elegant Pinot Noir, Trousseau, and Poulsard reds, as well as the region’s celebrated Vin Jaune and Vin de Paille.
Today, the domaine is managed by three families with deep roots in wine and entrepreneurship: the Devillard family (esteemed Burgundy winemakers behind Château de Chamirey, Domaine des Perdrix, Domaine de la Ferté, and Domaine de la Garenne), the Flambert family, and the Dupuis family. Together, they have elevated Rolet to a new level of excellence and international recognition.
The estate’s philosophy rests on meticulous vineyard care, low yields, and harvesting at optimal ripeness to capture the unique identity of Jura’s soils. The result is a portfolio of wines that balance precision and authenticity, offering both immediate pleasure and long-term aging potential.
