Domaine Odoul-Coquard was founded in the early 20th century and remains family owned and operated. Sebastein Odoul, fourth generation, gained in-depth experience in winemaking by working at Domaine Dujac, Mommessin, and Domaine Denis Mortet. In 2004, he returned to the family winery to join his parents, Sylvette and Thierry. As of 2009, he took over as winemaker of the domaine.
Situated in Morey-St.-Denis, in the prestigious Cote de Nuits region of Burgundy. From Gevrey-Chambertin to Nuits-St.-Georges, the Odouls own 9 hectares of vineyards in 21 different appellations throughout the Cote de Nuits. Most notably, they own the majority of the lieu-dit vineyard of Las Crais Gillon in Morey-Saint-Denis. All of their farming is done with lutte raisonée asustainable viticulture practice. The family follows traditional Burgundian winemaking practices, while showing optimal respect to vintage. All grapes are hand harvested, sorted, and destemmed.
The winery ages their wines in barrel for an average of 15 months with the Bourgogne seeing no new wood, while Premier Crus will sees up to 50% new wood, and Grand Crus, 50% and 90% new wood. The domaine uses Francois Frères barrels, with a few testers from other coopers. Domaine Odoul-Coquard has continued to evolve and pursue the highest level of quality, while also maintaining tradition

Hailing from the newly established West Sonoma Coast AVA, this inaugural release displays deep ruby in tint with Bing cherry, wild mountain berry, and an ethereal note of damp earth. Vibrant red and blue fruits dance on the palate, accompanied by oyster shell and a stony tension in character with its coastal influences. A silky texture and uplifted acidity add a sophistication and intensity to this wine, as well as a remarkably long finish.
Review:
The 2021 Pinot Noir (West Sonoma Coast), a new wine in this range, is lights out. Rich, ample and bold, the 2021 races across palate with layers of purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and spice. A dollop of stems adds nuance, but without dominating the overall balance. There's terrific acidity and structure to play off the natural fruit richness that is such a distinctive attribute of the best sites in the appellation.

A very deep purple, red in color. This wine showcases Shiraz with its depth of Barossa Valley and the alluring, aromatic freshness of Eden Valley. Vibrant aromas of dark cherries, anise and red raspberry. A distinctive wine with richness and dark berry, fruit compote palate. Perfectly balanced, elegant and refined.
Enjoy with beef filet, roast beetroot and horseradish, or Korean fried cauliflower.
