Organisme de Défense et de Gestion (ODG)

The ODG, Organisme de Défense et de Gestion, or Defence and Management Organism, is the collective structure that supports the Appellation of Origin approach. It brings together all the operators in the relevant sector. In the Rhône Valley, there is an ODG for each Appellation (Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Villages, 18 Crus and for each AOC of the Rhône Valley). The same applies to all IGPs/PGIs.
