Arbois Rouge Tradition is exactly what it sounds like: a traditional Jura blend that weaves together the region’s signature red grapes—mostly Poulsard and Trousseau, with a touch of Pinot Noir—into something greater than the sum of its parts. Domaine Rolet has long been a reference point in the region, and their 2023 bottling is both fresh and grounded, capturing the rustic elegance that makes Jura reds so compelling.

The wine is light in color but deep in personality. Bright red fruit leads—think tart cherry and wild strawberry—layered with notes of dried herbs, forest floor, and gentle spice. It’s lean and savory on the palate, with a touch of Jura funk and a mineral streak that keeps things lifted and fresh. There’s no new oak, no makeup—just clean, honest winemaking and the distinct voice of the region.

Serve it slightly chilled with roast chicken, mushroom dishes, or alpine cheeses. For lovers of Loire reds, Cru Beaujolais, or lighter natural wines with a touch of earth, Rolet’s Tradition offers old-school Jura charm in a polished frame.
