Vintage Character The 2018 Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru Domaine Odoul Coquard 'Aux Combottes' Premier Cru showcases the brilliance of a warm and sun-drenched growing season that yielded exceptionally rich and concentrated fruit. Tucked in a unique depression between esteemed Grand Crus, this vineyard benefits from a cool microclimate that tempers the warm vintage, preserving essential acidity. The clay-limestone soils of this exceptional site impart a distinct, stony minerality and structural depth to the wine.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, it offers an alluring bouquet of ripe black cherries, wild raspberries, and crushed violets, complemented by subtle baking spices. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully textured, showing silky tannins that frame a vibrant core of red plum and forest floor before culminating in a long, lingering finish. This elegant Pinot Noir pairs exceptionally well with roasted duck breast in a cherry reduction or slow-braised beef cheeks.
Winery Background Representing the estate's micro-production from a tiny parcel of old vines planted in 1957, this wine reflects winemaker Sébastien Odoul's philosophy of minimal intervention and gentle extraction. Based in Morey Saint Denis, the family-owned Domaine Odoul Coquard carefully hand-harvests their fruit and ages the wine in French oak barrels to emphasize purity of place. Their commitment to expressing the authentic voice of the Côte de Nuits makes this rare bottling a benchmark for artisanal Burgundy.
