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.

The Maranges vineyards form the link between the Côte-d'Or and the Saône-et-Loire. Although the production area is located in the Saône-et-Loire department, this appellation is an integral part of the Côte de Beaune.

The vineyards extend over the communes of Cheilly-les-Maranges, Dezize-les-Maranges and Sampigny-les-Maranges. The hilly landscape of Maranges is made up of hills, slopes and valleys.

The "La Fussière" climate has a predominantly marly soil: grey and blue marl covered with limestone scree. The hillsides face due south.

The grapes, harvested by hand, were carefully sorted in the vineyard and then in the winery. They were then completely destemmed before being placed in vats. Cold maceration (8-10°C) took place for 5-8 days, followed by alcoholic fermentation for 15 days in the presence of selected yeasts, with 2 punchings of the cap per day. The wine was then placed in oak barrels, with 100% malolactic fermentation and ageing for 12 months.
