2018 Domaine Rolet Père et Fils Arbois Poulsard Vieilles Vignes - Jura, France (750ml)

In the early 40’s Désiré Rolet began making wines in the Jura, and in 1958 his 4 children took over the domaine, initiating strictly organic practices. This is 100% Poulsard, a fine-skinned red grape that is typically used in blends due to its characteristic lightness. However, the master Rolet’s have made a Poulsard with elegance and finesse that holds its own against Burgundies that are double or triple the price. Delicately light-bodied with a perfumed nose and red fruit on the palate. Notes of red currant, hibiscus, and cherry, and a hint of floral and spice. Pair with toasted baguette and comte, or with roasted thyme chicken.
