Domaine Rolet Pere & Fils, Etoile Chardonnay, 2023

Domaine Rolet’s 2023 L’Étoile Chardonnay shows the grape in a poised, terroir-led style, balancing freshness with the gentle depth of 12 months in oak. Its name means “the star,” a reference to the five-pointed pentacrine fossils found in the limestone-rich soils of Jura.

Tasting Notes
The nose combines citrus, white flowers and fresh almond with a chalky, almost saline mineral note. On the palate, focused acidity and a firm structure meet a creamy texture, leading to a subtly rounded finish with pleasing length. The supplied information does not specify an aging window.

Production
The Chardonnay comes from the En Novalet parcel in Plainoiseau, in the L’Étoile appellation, where fossil-bearing limestone contributes mineral character and structure. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested and sorted, then fermented and aged for 12 months in oak barrels. The oak is used gently, adding depth and complexity without overwhelming the wine’s fresh, mineral expression.

Food & Serving
Enjoy with shellfish, delicate fish dishes, chilled starters or mature cheeses; it also has the focus to be enjoyed on its own. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. A brief airing in the glass should be sufficient; decanting is not essential.
