WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Rolet Crémant du Jura Brut is produced using the traditional method, involving a second fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. After primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks, often with indigenous yeasts, the wine undergoes a minimum of 12 months of aging on lees. This extended period contributes to the wine's texture and complexity. Grapes are hand-harvested from vines that are typically over 20 years old. The estate is actively pursuing organic farming practices, reflecting a commitment to sustainable viticulture. The blend of multiple Jura grape varieties, including Chardonnay, is a key element in shaping the wine's final profile.
