Domaine Rolet Arbois Vin de Paille

Domaine Rolet Vin de Paille displays a brilliant deep amber to golden bronze hue, with viscous tears that cling to the glass, hinting at its concentrated sweetness and high extract. On the nose, it is intensely aromatic and richly complex, offering layers of dried apricot, candied orange peel, and quince paste alongside notes of honey, toasted walnuts and almonds, with subtle hints of caramel, baking spices, and a delicate oxidative nuance typical of Jura wines.

On the palate, it is lusciously sweet yet beautifully balanced by a lively acidity that keeps it vibrant and fresh. Flavours echo the nose with dried fruits, fig jam, and orange marmalade, complemented by a soft nuttiness and a whisper of vanilla and spice. Its unctuous, silky texture coats the mouth without ever becoming cloying, leading to an exceptionally long finish filled with lingering notes of dried fruit, honeycomb, and roasted nuts. This indulgent wine pairs wonderfully with foie gras, pungent blue cheeses like Roquefort or Bleu d’Auvergne, tarte Tatin, or can simply be savoured on its own as a luxurious dessert in a glass.
