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.

Established in 1937, the regional appellation "Bourgogne" appellation controlée covers approximately 1000 hectares on all wine growing areas from Burgundy.

The appellation area spreads across 384 villages of the Yonne, Côte d’Or, Saône-et-Loire, and Rhône departments.

Starting in the North, from the region of Chablis and Auxerre, to the South in the region of Macon, and passing through the Côte d’Or and the Côte Chalonnaise, the Bourgogne wines stem from very diverse terroirs.

This wine mostly comes from the foothills vineyards. The relief shape from the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais regions gives soils blended with lime, clay and marl, with granitic nuances at the very South of the Saône-et-Loire department.

The grapes are first sorted and then pressed when they arrive at the winery. The musts are settled and then vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats using selected yeasts. The vinification temperature is between 16° and 18°C, allowing optimum extraction of the wine's aromatic potential. Ageing continues in stainless steel vats for 80% of the blend and in oak barrels for the remaining 20%, on the lees for 6 to 8 months. Malolactic fermentation is complete, making the wine more supple.
