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.

2023  

100% Chardonnay.

Colour: Beautiful pale gold, limpid and shiny with emerald reflections.
Nose: The nose is fine, elegant, refined, floral (white flowers) and fruity (pear) with some notes of fresh almonds and hazelnuts.
Palate: The palate is pure, with acidity well integrated and a nice roundness. The flavours are both floral and fruity, and delicately woody. This wine will know how to assert itself with age. Very promising!

This wine is perfect served with poached turbot and beurre blanc, Bresse chicken with a cream sauce, eel, smoked salmon, trout with almonds, shellfish and veal sweetbreads. It is also an ideal match for Japanese mochi. Try it with foie gras or, for an original flavour combination, duck à l’orange.

Serve ideally at a temperature of around 14°C. (55°F.).

This great white Burgundy can be kept in the cellar up to 10 years.

The prestigious village of Chassagne-Montrachet is the southernmost village in the Côte de Beaune and the great white wines of Burgundy. This appellation is bordered to the south by Santenay and to the north by Puligny-Montrachet, producing both white and red wines.

Chassagne-Montrachet shares the Montrachet appellation, the Prince of white crus, with Puligny-Montrachet. An average of 8,000 hectolitres of Chardonnay is harvested every year.

Alternating calcareous, pebbly, marly and sandy soils. South-east facing, on gentle slopes, at an altitude between 220 and 330m.

The grapes are hand harvested, sorted and pressed. A cold settling for 48 hours at 8°C. (41°F.) has been realised. Then the juice was put into new oak barrels for 30%, one-year-old barrels for 40% and two-year-old barrels for 30% for both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations and aged for 12 months without stirring the lees.
