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.

The Aligoté grape is very famous in Burgundy and for a long time it's been only related to its use in the fabrication of the Kir (an Aperitif also very famous, made with Bourgogne Aligoté and Crème de Cassis, our regional blackcurrant liqueur).

But this varietal has been known in Burgundy since the 17th century, and it is increasingly considered as a qualitative grape and treated as such (low yields, vinification using oak barrels, etc).

Vinification in low-temperature stainless steel tanks in order to preserve the freshness and tension of the grape variety.

Ageing on fine lees in stainless steel tanks during 6 months.
