The Estate

Created by Désiré Rolet in 1942, Domaine Rolet is today one of the jewels of the Jura vineyard. The Jura vineyard offers exceptional diversity and Domaine Rolet reflects all the richness of this terroir through the 4 geographical appellations: Arbois, Côtes du Jura, L'Étoile, and Château-Chalon. In 2018, the Rolet family transferred its estate to 3 families passionate about wine and the Jura, the Devillard family, the Dupuis family and the Flambert family. A new page is then written with the desire to always express the beautiful diversity of Jura wines.
