The name Antonin Rodet has been rhyming with Mercurey in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise since 1875, when the house was founded by Antoine Rodet, known as Antonin. The Clos Rodet, a 17^th Century bourgeois mansion situated in the heart of the village, is embodying the House’s historical heart, cellar and values. For decades, the visionary Rodet family did not hesitate to invest in one of the oldest terroirs in Burgundy and contributed to the business development of the House, brought the Rodet signature into international markets and enhanced its reputation to become a reference in Mercurey and far beyond the native region. Antonin Rodet Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines contributed to the international renown of the House whose consecration came with an award at the Universal Exhibition in 1900. Of noble character and fully expressive after traditional winemaking, the House wines reﬂect their origins with great purity.

History

Nestled between the two famous villages of Volnay and Meursault in Burgundy, Auxey-Duresses has only 150 ha of vines, which has always meant that this appellation would remain out of the limelight. Today, however, it offers some of the Côte’s best value.

Grape variety

100% Chardonnay.

Terroir

Soil type and altitude: This magnificent terroir enjoys full southern exposure. The vines are planted on a gentle slope.

Vinification and maturing

Grapes are hand harvested, checked on a sorting table at their arrival at the winery and then pressed in a pneumatic press. A light settling is then carried out before the slow fermentation in oak barrels and then ageing for 10 months in the same barrels.

Wine and food pairing

This wine will be perfect paired up with fishes, or poultry in cream sauce. It will also beautifully enhance any kind of risotto, or if you feel like trying french cuisine, a blanquette de veau.

Serving temperature

Drink ideally at a temperature of 12 to 14°C. (53°F-57°F.).
