2016 | Pierre Graffeuille | Odyssee

The full-bodied palat is full-on rich and seductive, delivering bags of savory-laced black and blue fruits with a gorgeous velvety texture and seamless freshness, finishing long with loads of pepper and mineral sparks. Delicious right now, it is still very youthful and primary.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: Such a fetching nose full of spices, showing lots of cumin, tangy peppercorn to the fresh blackberries and blueberries. Medium-bodied palate with a tangy profile of spice and blue fruit. Tannins are creamy and small-grained, giving a nice, seamless grip to the finale. Cabernet sauvignon, grenache and mourvedre. Irresistible now, but can hold, too.

Producer Information

Pierre Graffeuille and Matthieu Dumarcher have been friends since high school. This lasting partnership, fueled by a passion for the vine, led to the creation of the Rhône Project and the flagship wine – Odyssée. Both Matthieu and Pierre dreamed of creating a beautiful wine that married both terroirs from the Rhône and Haut Médoc. Initially Odyssée used Syrah from the Northern Rhône in the blend with Cabernet Sauvignon from the Haut Médoc in its inaugural 2015 vintage. Though both the Rhône Valley and the Médoc are separated by a great distance, the varietals local to each area go fantastically well together. Each vintage of Odyssée is a harmonious union of both the energy and tannin from rustic Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon, coupled with the charm and drinkability of Southern Rhône Valley wines. Interestingly enough, the addition of Counoise - a very old and nearly forgotten varietal - is specific to the 2017 vintage. This varietal adds freshness, floral sophistication and just a touch of spice to this stunning wine.
