Domain: Antonin Rodet

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.
