Antonin Rodet Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2008 (1x37.5cl)

Maison Antonin Rodet, established in Mercurey in 1875, maintains a traditional approach to regional Burgundian expressions. Sourced from clay-limestone terroirs across the Côte Chalonnaise and Côte d'Or, this 2008 Bourgogne Pinot Noir reflects the crisp, acid-driven profile characteristic of a classic cool growing season.

Vinified in stainless steel with gentle extraction and matured in neutral French oak, the wine prioritizes structural clarity over heavy oak influence. The 37.5cl half-bottle format has gently accelerated its evolution, delivering a fully mature regional Pinot Noir characterized by delicate tertiary aromatics, resolved tannins, and precise varietal typicity.

Tasting notes

A pale garnet hue with clear orange-brick edging at the rim. The nose opens with tertiary aromas of dried red cherry, cranberry, damp leaf litter, and faint hints of dried rose petal and leather.

The palate is light-to-medium in body, guided by the high-toned, lively acidity typical of the 2008 vintage. Resolved, powdery tannins support savory notes of black tea, redcurrant, and forest floor, culminating in a dry, nuanced, and classic finish.
