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.

Marsannay is the most northerly village on the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy, just after Dijon. Marsannay is the only local appellation to produce wines in all 3 colours: red, white and rosé. Recognised as the gateway to the Côte de Nuits, the appellation area covers the communes of Chenôve, Marsannay-la-Côte and Couchey.

From north to south, the vines grow on the best parts of the hillside and foothills (between 255 and 390 metres altitude), with exposures ranging from due east to due south. All of this on a wide variety of soils dating from the Middle Jurassic period: bedded sandstone, Entroques limestone, Oestra acuminata marl, the old Ouche river bed or alluvial pebbles...

The hand-picked harvest is sorted on arrival at the winery before being completely destemmed and then cold-macerated (temperature maintained between 8 and 10°C) for 4 to 6 days. This is followed by 12 days' fermentation in stainless steel vats, with two pump-overs and two punch-downs per day.

The wine is then placed in oak barrels (30% new) for ageing on the lees.

2022 weather conditions were uncertain, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.

The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
