The Jura remains one of France's most misunderstood wine regions, tucked between Burgundy and Switzerland and built on grape varieties and winemaking traditions found almost nowhere else. This October, we welcome Cedric Ducote, general manager and winemaker of Domaine Rolet, one of the Jura's most established family estates, for a dinner and a tasting.
Domaine Rolet: A Jura Institution
Rolet has been a fixture of the Jura for generations, farming across a wide spread of the region's terroir and working with the full range of Jura specialities, from oxidative Vin Jaune to more approachable bottlings such as the Arbois 'Tradition' White. Cedric Ducote has overseen both the vineyards and the cellar, giving him a rare vantage point on the estate's full range. Browse the full Jura Wines collection ahead of his visit.
Friday 9 October: Wine Dinner
A seated dinner built around Domaine Rolet's wines, with Cedric Ducote on hand to talk through each bottle and the region behind it.
Saturday 10 October: Meet the Winemaker
The following day, join Cedric Ducote for a more relaxed tasting session, open to walk-through visitors keen to taste across the Rolet range and ask questions directly. Reserve your place via the sign-up form linked in our newsletter.
Why the Jura Deserves Your Attention
The Jura's wines reward curiosity. Between the savagnin-driven whites, the region's distinctive ageing practices and its cool-climate reds, there is a great deal to discover, and Cedric Ducote is exactly the person to guide that discovery in person.
