Rolet Arbois Trousseau Magnum 2005

Move over Provence rosé and other predictable recommendations rolled out for barbecue drinking. The Rotters’ rules are simple: keep it delicious, keep it refreshing, and keep it coming.

What better than large formats of Domaine Rolet’s Trousseau? Founded by Désiré Rolet in 1942, this property, with its roster of prime old vineyards in Arbois and Côtes du Jura, has always made its wine quietly but meticulously, attracting a loyal following.

Bursting with juicy red berries and layers of savoury complexity, these magnums – from the exceptional 2005 vintage, which produced ageworthy wines ideal for laying down – offer a rare glimpse of Trousseau that’s reminiscent of high-quality mature Burgundy.
