Why did I choose the winery Rolet ?

From the vineyard to the cellar, from the storage to the labelling, quality is everywhere. The family estate is run by children of Desire Rolet who created the estate in the 1940’s. Bernard and Guy Rolet work with accuracy and precision both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Pierre and Eliane Rolet take care of the marketting with integrity. All of them work with the soul of a winemaker whose goal is to produce excellent wine for every vintage the best wine, knowing that the best wine begins on the vine itself.

As is often found in Jura, the product range is very wide, floral white wines, or more typical, light and spicy reds, rosés of Poulsard, Crémant du Jura and emblematic Vin Jaune and Vin de paille. All wines come from their vineyard and are vinified on the estate, frequently receiving awards.
