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 17th 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.

Origin

The Chateau de Mercey, built in the 16th Century at the Southern limits of the Côte de Beaune.The vineyard estate extends over 41 hectares principally on land around the Chateau itself.

Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune parcels are lyre-shaped. This technique allows the sun to shine within the vine rows and ensures quick ripening and prevents diseases.

Vinification and maturing

Grapes were picked by hand and put into 16 kg capacity boxes, to avoid bruising or crushing.
Once at the winery, the grapes went in a bladder press. The must was then racked for 16 to 24 hours in a cold tank to be clarified before starting the fermentation process.

Once the alcoholic fermentation was achieved, the wine was casked for a 10-month ageing period in 228 Liters oak barrels (20% new oak), on fine lees, without any stirring, followed by a blending period in tank for 2 months.
