Antonin Rodet has gone hand in hand with Mercurey since it was founded in 1875 by Antoine Rodet, nicknamed Antonin. In the 19th century, his father François Rodet ran a wine merchant business, which flourished with the economic expansion of the time and the arrival of the railway. The story took a decisive turn when Antoine married Marie-Françoise Adenot, a farmer’s daughter and heiress of land near Mercurey. Over the years, the family’s assets continued to grow. After Antoine passed away in 1905, his son Antonin took over the family business, retaining his father’s pioneering vision and developing a wide range of promotional items bearing the family name. Though Maison Antoine Rodet is no longer owned by the family, the spirit of the father and son, who founded this internationally renowned wine trading house, still permeates its walls.

Antonin Rodet is a wine merchant from Burgundy which was founded in the 19th century under the inspiration of its namesake.The original family are no longer in charge but you can still acquire and appreciate this Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru made from Pinot Noir, a noble red grape variety of the Burgundy region. Grown in an oceanic climate with semi-continental influences, it has drawn the nutrients it needs to develop from soils composed of limestone and marl, giving it the perfect balance between freshness and boldness. Add to this the ageing in wooden barrels and the wine is endowed with a strong enough body to stand the test of time. This wine, with its very intense ruby-red colour, is extremely generous. The fragrance is marked by notes of red and black fruits, stewed fruits, leather, cherry brandy and musk. The tannins are at the forefront of this wine and can be refined over time. This wine can be comfortably cellared for around 15 years.
