Odyssée - Vin de France 2020

Decanter.com

byGeorgina Hindlethe9/4/2023

This Bordeaux-Rhône collaboration, now in its fifth vintage, offers a striking nose full of menthol Cabernet Sauvignon (48%) aspects with herbal Carignan (8%) and fruit-forward Grenache (42%) but it's the delicious strawberry tang on the palate that is the most in focus with peppery, herbal spice and tension from the fine but firm tannins. Lovely sleekness with a sense of character and confidence, more Rhône than Bordeaux in the slightly hot, sun-kissed fruit and alcohol but retains a sense of brightness, bounce and enjoyable complexity. Supple, round and complete. A year where both regions enjoyed similar hot, sunny, warm and dry weather and thus the grapes 'worked in harmony' says co-creator Matthieu Dumarcher alongside Château Montrose's Pierre Graffeuille. 11,000 bottles produced.

Composed of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Grenache, and 10% Carignan, the 2020 Odyssee is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. After a little swirling, notes of black cherries, mulberries, and wild blueberries tumble from the glass, followed by hints of lavender, Indian spices, and dusty soil. The full-bodied palate is coated with expressive black fruits, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and mineral-laced. Odyssee is an eclectic blend of Bordeaux and Rhone vineyards, made by Bordeaux superstar Pierre Graffeuille (now CEO at Chateau Montrose) and Matthieu Dumarcher, a winemaker based in the Rhone.

A shared project between Pierre Grafeuille (now at Château Montrose) and Matthieu Dumarcher, now five vintages in with an exceptional wine that seeks to capture the beauty of Bordeaux and the Rhone valley. it's intense, and the heat of 2020 seems to capture more Rhone character than Bordeaux. The spice is extremely present, toasted cumin and rosemary, black cherry and damson fruits, all stretched out and enticing. Good quality, with punch.
