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.

This village appellation from the Côte de Beaune, marks along with Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault one tip of the Golden Triangle. This area produces one of the most famous white wines in Burgundy.

The vineyard spreads over 304 hectares, including 149 hectares of Premier Cru. Here, the diversity of soils with particular characteristics is huge, for there are 55 different Premier Cru "Climats". 

This white Chassagne Premier Cru is a blend of Chardonnay grapes coming from different parcels.

Harvested by hand, then sorted in the vat room before soft pressing to extract the best quality juice. Vinification in wooden vats for greater aromatic complexity. Aged in oak barrels for 18 months, with occasional stirring to bring the lees back into suspension and reveal all the smoothness of the wine. A proportion of 25% new oak barrels were used to bring out those seductive candied notes.

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
