Product Description
The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis "Les Crais Gillon" from Domaine Odoul-Coquard captures the essence of this often-overlooked lieu-dit—poised between elegance and structure. Located just below the village, the site’s gravelly soils contribute finesse and lift, while the domaine’s old vines bring fruit intensity and depth.

Fermented with native yeasts and matured in French oak (around 20–25% new), this wine displays a harmonious balance of dark red fruit, earthy minerality, and fine tannic grip. A superb example of the understated complexity Morey can offer.
