Product Description
Bordering the legendary Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, Aux Combottes is often regarded as a “hidden Grand Cru” thanks to its pedigree and finesse. In 2023, Domaine Odoul-Coquard’s old vines deliver a profound expression of this premier cru site, with concentration, fine structure, and layered complexity.

The wine is vinified with a portion of whole clusters and aged in French oak barrels (approximately 30–40% new), enhancing its aromatic depth while preserving the site’s mineral backbone. A standout cuvée for collectors and Burgundy purists alike.
