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.

Rully is a communal appellation of the Côte Chalonnaise, in the South of Burgundy, with 23 climates classified in 1er crus (30% of the parcel).

246 Ha are dedicated to white wines including 69 Ha for the Premiers Crus and 121 Ha are in red (28 Ha for the Premiers Crus).

The vine grow on very calcareous brown and stony soils.

Hand-harvested on September and sorted the grapes were pneumatic pressed and cold settled between 12 and 24 hours. Fermentation took place in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats for precise temperature control and homogeneity of the cuvée. Ageing in 228 L. barrels (including 25% new barrels) on fine lees for 8 months with stirring twice a month to develop complex aromas, preserve the purity of the fruit, and protect the wine.

Uncertain conditions all the year long, 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.
