Castle of Mercey 2015 - Burgundy Hautes Côtes de Beaune - Antonin Rodet
La Maison Antonin Rodet is the exclusive producer and distributor of Domaine de Château de Mercey wines. The 48 hectare wine estate surrounds the castle, which was built in the 16th century on the southern edge of the Côte de Beaune, but also extends to the Côte Chalonnaise. As a regional appellation, its delimitation area comprises 48 communes located between the Côte d'Or and the Saône-et-Loire. It includes 685 ha for red and rosé wines and 130 ha for white wines. The vines of the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune vineyards, higher in altitude than the Côte, are clad in lyre: a technique to increase the sunlight in the row and thus promote a better maturity of the grapes with a sanitary condition irreproachable.
