Domaine Rolet
Tradition Arbois Poulsard-Trousseau Blend
A blend of 40% Poulsard, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Trousseau, the 2022 Rouge Arbois Tradition displays bright red fruits alongside spicy elements. Subtle herbaceous accents add complexity, attributable to the use of approximately 20% stems from the Pinot Noir and Trousseau during fermentation. Concentrated and savory, the 2022 is neatly framed by ripe tannins and can be enjoyed over the next four years. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, August 2024)

I was intrigued by the bottle age on this but it was a bit volatile and disjointed. Improved somewhat with air but seems like it has seen better days

Jan 9th, 2018Surprisingly complex wine for the money. Nose of smoked meat, broth, tea, stewed raspberries and black cherry with the palate following suit. Juicy and ripe with black tea, smoke, damp leaves, stewed raspberries and black cherry with just a touch of salinity in the finish. The only thing this is really missing is depth of texture and length but for $17... Excellent.

Delicious, treading the line between Jura and Jerez. More integrated on day 2, complex in a way that makes you want to take another sip in order ti fully appreciate what's in the glass.
