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 located in the Côte Châlonnaise (hills of Châlon) named after the nearby town of Châlon, just south of the famous Côte de Beaune in Burgundy.

The vineyards cover an area of 290 hectares on the slopes of a chain of hills, always facing south to north-east to get the best exposure to the sun for ripening.

The Rully vineyards are considered similar to those of the Côte de Beaune with soil composed mainly of chalk and clay.

The grapes are harvested by hand. First, a cold maceration for 4 days at 8-10 ° C. Then begin the alcoholic fermentation in the presence of selected yeasts of Burgundy. Punching down twice a day. Total maceration: about 18 days. Aging 100% in French oak barrels for 12 months. Bottling after a slight final filtration.

The vintage in Burgundy was particularly difficult for winegrowers and winemakers due to the changing and unpredictable weather conditions. The high temperatures at the end of February gave the vines an early start, but the historic frost in April damaged the young shoots and considerably reduced the future harvest.

Frequent rainfall from May to mid-August required constant vigilance on the part of winegrowers to combat disease and protect the grapes. Fortunately, flowering went well and veraison benefited from the return of sunshine from mid-August. However, the vagaries of the weather led to the development of outbreaks of disease, which were contained thanks to the tireless efforts of the winegrowers.

To guarantee quality, the fruit had to be carefully sorted both in the vineyard and on arrival at the winery. This vintage demanded a great deal of technical skill and special attention during vinification, with meticulous care taken to extract colouring matter, balance structure and aromatic expression in the red wines, and freshness, acid balance and aromatic potential in the white wines.
