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 village of Meursault is located in the Côte de Beaune, next to very famous villages like Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, which produce some of the greatest white wines of Burgundy.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes were handpicked and hand sorted as soon as they arrived at the winery.

They were then pressed in a pneumatic press which allows for perfect extraction of the juice without over pressing the grapes.

The wine was vinified and aged in barrels with a proportion of 20% new oak and aged on the lees for 14 months with occasional stirring.
