Crémant du Jura

Crémant du Jura is a sparkling wine produced in the Jura region of eastern France. This region, located between Burgundy and Switzerland, is known for its unique terroir and diverse wine production, including the production of Crémant du Jura.

The Jura region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the 12th century when Cistercian monks first planted vineyards in the area. Today, the region is home to over 2,000 hectares of vineyards, with a focus on small, family-owned wineries that produce high-quality, artisanal wines.

One of the leading producers of Crémant du Jura is Domaine Rolet Père et Fils. Founded in 1942 by Désiré Rolet, the winery is now run by the third generation of the Rolet family. The winery is known for its commitment to sustainable and organic farming practices, with a focus on preserving the natural balance of the soil and the health of the vines.

The grapes used to produce Crémant du Jura at Domaine Rolet are primarily Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Poulsard, which are all traditional grape varieties of the Jura region. These grapes are carefully hand-harvested and sorted to ensure only the best fruit is used in the winemaking process.

The production of Crémant du Jura follows the traditional method, also known as the Champagne method, where the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle. This process creates a fine and persistent mousse, giving the wine its signature effervescence.

The resulting Crémant du Jura is a delicate and elegant sparkling wine with a pale golden color and aromas of white flowers, citrus, and brioche. On the palate, it is fresh and lively, with a creamy texture and a long, crisp finish.
