Domaine Rolet’s Arbois Vin Jaune 2016 is a captivating expression of the Jura’s renowned wine style, showcasing the region’s ability to create wines that are as complex as they are distinctive. Made from the Savagnin grape, Vin Jaune undergoes an extended aging process in barrel, allowing it to develop deep, oxidative flavors that are both rich and layered. The 2016 vintage, with its carefully crafted profile, is a true testament to the expertise of Domaine Rolet, one of the Jura’s most respected producers.
This Vin Jaune opens with intense aromas of nuts—walnut and almond—along with a hint of spice and a touch of dried fruit, evoking the unique aging process that defines the wine. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, with a creamy texture and a savory depth that is both intriguing and satisfying. The characteristic oxidative notes are balanced by a vibrant acidity, keeping the wine fresh despite its richness. The long, mineral-driven finish lingers with subtle flavors of citrus peel and dried herbs.
Domaine Rolet’s Arbois Vin Jaune 2016 is a wine made for those who appreciate the depth and history of the Jura region. It pairs beautifully with aged cheeses, especially Comté, roasted poultry, or even foie gras, making it a perfect match for rich, flavorful dishes. This wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for further aging, as its unique character will continue to evolve, revealing more nuances over time.
