The Saint-Vincent tournante

On 28 and 29 January 2017, the village of Mercurey will be hosting the festivities dedicated to Saint-Vincent, the patron saint of winemakers.

This event, the Saint-Vincent Tournante, takes place in a different village every year. For the 73rd edition, it returns to Mercurey for the third time, and the maison Antonin Rodet – a big name in this village – will be hosting one of the highlights of the official ceremonies, namely the initiation of Mercurey’s winemaking elders into the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin.

Le Clos Antonin Rodet will be decorated in the colors chosen by the neighborhood for the event, specifically wine red, pink, and white. 

To close the day, a gastronomic banquet for 1,150, cooked up by Eric Pras, chef of the nearby three Michelin starred Lameloise restaurant, will be served in a marquee in the village.
