Bourgogne Antonin Rodet 2021
Antonin Rodet, which was established in 1875 and is based in Mercurey, is behind this red wine from 2021. The wine bears the classification Appellation Bourgogne Contrôlée, which was officially established in 1937 and forms the foundation of the region's quality hierarchy.
The Burgundy region in eastern France was originally shaped by the monks of the Middle Ages, who mapped the area's countless terroirs. The climate is predominantly continental with cold winters, cool springs and warm summers, which together with the dominant clay and limestone soils provide ideal conditions for viticulture. The 2021 vintage in this area was marked by cool and difficult weather, resulting in limited quantities, but produced a classic style that has achieved a score of 88 points.
The wine is made from Pinot Noir, which is the absolute main grape for red wines in Burgundy. This elegant red grape thrives in the region's fine-meshed system of climats, but is also typical of areas such as Champagne, Germany, Oregon and California. For a regional appellation such as this, the grapes may be harvested from vineyards anywhere in the approved Burgundy area, which stretches across a large geographical area from the Yonne department in the north through Côte-d'Or and Saône-et-Loire to the Rhône department in the south.
