Domaine Rolet, Arbois Trousseau


Rolet is one of the largest family-owned wine estates in the Jura, with about 65 hectares of vines spread across its major sub-appellations, including Arbois and Côtes du Jura. Founded by Désiré Rolet in the early 1940s, it has been run by his four children—Bernard, Guy, Pierre, and Eliane—for decades now, with all farming done sustainably and plantings split among the Jura’s classic varieties: Chardonnay and Savagnin for the whites, and Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir for the reds. They are a reliable source for the full Jura style spectrum, including a Champagne-method sparkler (Crémant du Jura) and the full assortment of oxidized and/or sweet styles the Jura is known for, such as the Sherry-like Vin Jaune (“yellow wine”); the sweet Vin de Paille (“straw wine”); and the fortified/sweet Macvin du Jura.

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
