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 Rully appellation, located on the Côte Chalonnaise, offers wines similar to those of the Côte de Beaune. This ancient 370-hectare vineyard, two-thirds of which is planted with white grapes, stretches across hillsides at an altitude of over 200 metres, with mainly eastern exposure and clay-limestone soils. Rully has 23 Premier Cru climats, with reds from the lower slopes and whites from the higher areas.

The diversity of soils and altitudes (230 to 300 metres) produces varied wines that can rival prestigious crus such as Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. This geological richness gives Rully wines a beautiful complexity, combining finesse, structure and ageing potential.

Harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted before undergoing pneumatic pressing and cold settling. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for precise temperature control and good homogeneity. The wine is then aged in 228-litre barrels (25% of which are new) on fine lees for 9 months, with occasional stirring until malolactic fermentation, in order to develop complex aromas while preserving the purity of the fruit.

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.
