At the Oddo Domaine du Vallon des Glauges, the wine is good, and the welcome and the hospitality remain preponderant. The proof is the magnificent reception at the end of the harvest that the owners offered to their clients (…), a tasty cocktail party prepared by the local caterer “O saveurs Origin’halles”, (…) while tasting the wines of the domain but also those of South Africa of the group “Oddo Vins & Domaines”, such as the excellent wine “Le Chant du Coq”, from the domain Taaibosch.
The guests (mostly restaurateurs), who were welcomed by Pascal Oddo and his daughter Lorraine, who manages the estate, but also the whole team of the exploitation, were able to enjoy a moment of relaxation in a friendly atmosphere.
“We had early ripening with very healthy grapes, good degrees and beautiful colors that gave magnificent whites and rosés. As for the red wine “Réserve Oddo” made from a single variety of hand-sorted Syrah, it is really promising but we will have to wait at least 2 years to taste it”.

As the harvest comes to an end at the various estates of the family-owned Oddo Vins & Domaines group in France and abroad, the end of the year 2022 is remarkable
“The 2022 harvest is exceptional, both in Sancerre and in Sicily, as well as in our Oddo Vallon des Glauges estate in Coteaux d’Aix en Provence. The volumes and the quality of the grapes are present, reflecting all the work we have done to achieve excellence, and to promote a model of committed organic and biodynamic viticulture at the heart of our estates,” explains Lorraine ODDO, director of Oddo Vins & Domaines. “Pluriculture today reflects our commitment to the preservation of the environment, trying to protect our resources as much as possible against climate change.”
As a symbol of this work carried out for years in the vineyards with the aim of offering ever better wines, the vineyards have all seen their wines rewarded by international sommeliers, including the Taaibosch Crescendo 2019, the latest to be rated, which obtained a near-perfect score of 98/100 in the annual South African report by Tim Atkins, an international expert who is very attached to South African wines.
The year 2023 already promises to be full of opportunities for Oddo Vins & Domaines, starting with obtaining the certification for organic wine production for all the estates, in order to highlight a committed, respectful and quality viticulture, while improving the quality of our wines.
Oddo Vins & Domaines wines can be found on our online store, and more recently in the cellars of Repaire de Bacchus (for the Rosé Oddo Vallon des Glauges, the white Serra Ferdinandea and the Taaibosch Crescendo), as well as on Twil.
The development of our vineyard Taaibosch, located in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa, continues with the new exceptional rating of 98/100 awarded to Taaibosch Crescendo 2019 by journalist Tim Atkins
Two years after the launch of Taaibosch Crescendo and almost a year to the day after the 2018 Crescendo was revealed as “Red Wine Discovery of the Year”, Tim Atkins renews his confidence with Crescendo 2019 and awards the exceptional score of 98/100, positioning Taaibosch as one of the top 5 red wines in South Africa, and once again putting the Stellenbosch region and its fabulous Taaibosch vineyard on the world map!
Taaibosch is one of the South African vineyardsowned by the Oddo family wine group Oddo Vins & Domaines
Oddo Vins & Domaines has received numerous awards for the uniqueness and exceptional quality of the wines from its French, Italian and South African estates
In 2021 and 2022, the recognition of the wines of the Oddo family estates has increased with the tastings of the world’s greatest sommeliers.
Andreas Larsson, Tim Atkins and James Suckling, some of the greatest experts, have praised the exceptional work carried out for several years on the wines of Oddo Vins & Domaines:
It’s a great day for Oddo Vins & Domaines, and the Pink Valley estate!
On Monday, November 11, the inauguration of the restaurant that opened its doors in Stellenbosch (home of the best South African wine production) took place; the program included many guests, the speech of our expert oenologist and manager of the estate Schalk JOUBERT, and that of Lorraine ODDO, representative of Oddo Vins & Domaines, the main shareholder, which preceded a magnificent evening of tasting of the first vintage of Pink Valley and the delicious dishes of our Chef.

Sunny day on June 17th at the Domaine du Vallon des Glauges, for the inauguration of our new cellar.
It was the opportunity to taste the new vintage of rosé, whose excellence has been further refined this year, thanks to the talents of Romain Baehni. The Vallon des Glauges estate is the founding piece of Oddo Vins & Domaines, our wine group; we have acquired a taste for vineyards and wine, which has taken us to South Africa with the acquisition of Taaibosch, to Rioja, and to Sicily, with the Planeta family. We wanted to surround ourselves with major players in the world of wine and distribution, by taking a stake in DIVA Bordeaux. Now that the work is completed, it’s time for tasting; at the beginning of July, we will open a bar to taste our rosé in the heart of the Alpilles.
