Description
Domaine Rolet's Tradition Arbois Blanc 2018 is a remarkable expression from the prestigious Jura region, showcasing a unique blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Savagnin, reflecting the estate’s commitment to both tradition and modern wine-making techniques. Founded in 1942, Domaine Rolet has risen to prominence through its dedication to organic farming practices, ensuring that each vine benefits from the exceptional terroir of the Jura, particularly the rare gray marl soil that imparts distinct characteristics to the wines.
This extraordinary white wine is crafted with utmost care, showcasing:
- Aromas: The nose captivates with a striking fusion of nutty and oxidative notes, complemented by hints of baked apple, toasted almonds, and a delicate salinity.
- Palate: The vibrant palate features layers of toasted almond, subtle spice, and a lively citrus brightness, resulting in a creamy, lingering finish enhanced by a whisper of savory minerality.
- Finish: A persistent finish unfolds, marked by a saline minerality, nutty warmth, and zesty citrus elements that linger, leaving a vibrant impression.
Ideal for those who appreciate a wine with both depth and elegance, this dry white blend invites immediate enjoyment while also presenting opportunities for graceful aging. It is particularly well-suited for:
- Serving Suggestions: Chill between 10-12°C and serve in a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate its aroma and highlight freshness.
- Pair with lightly spiced Asian dishes, such as lemongrass chicken or Thai green curry, to create a harmonious balance of flavors.
- Craft a delightful white wine spritzer by combining with sparkling water, fresh lemon slices, and mint for a refreshing summer aperitif.
- Enhance brunch gatherings with a cheese board featuring aged Comté, mild goat cheese, and quince paste for a regional Jura-inspired pairing.
- Enjoy alongside delicate seafood starters like oysters, served with a citrusy mignonette to complement the wine’s bright acidity.
With its exquisite balance of oxidative character and fresh acidity, Domaine Rolet’s Tradition Arbois Blanc 2018 is an exceptional representation of the Jura style, perfect for both casual and celebratory occasions.

Storage advice
For storing white wine maintain an optimal temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve its freshness and flavor profile. Avoid temperatures fluctuating outside this range as inconsistencies can prematurely age the wine.
Light exposure should be minimized because UV rays can degrade wine quality. Store the bottle in a dark place or inside a wine fridge with UV-protected glass.
Keep the bottle sealed with its original cork which helps prevent oxidation. If the bottle is opened recork tightly and refrigerate to slow deterioration; consume within a few days for best quality.
Bottle position matters: store bottles on their side to keep the cork moist preventing it from drying out and allowing air ingress which can spoil the wine.
Maintain humidity around 70% to keep corks from drying while avoiding mold growth.
Special storage tips for white wine:
- Avoid storing white wine in a regular fridge for long-term storage as low humidity and vibration can damage cork and wine inside.
- Use a dedicated wine cooler or cellar setup when possible.
- For opened bottles reseal and store in a refrigerator ideally using a vacuum pump system to remove air if available.
Following these conditions will help maintain the wine’s quality and extend its shelf life.
