Exceptional Terroirs Between Arbois and Étoile
Rolet Estate cultivates approximately 65 hectares across the appellations of Arbois, Côtes du Jura, Étoile, and Château-Chalon.

Mastering Tradition and Innovation
Committed to Jura’s winemaking heritage, Rolet Estate excels in aging wines under veil for its Vin Jaune while also embracing modern vinification techniques to offer a diverse range of styles. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermentations occur with native yeasts, and aging is tailored to each cuvée—whether in barrels, tanks, or amphorae. This meticulous approach ensures authentic and expressive wines that balance power with finesse.
