Odyssey Pierre Graffeuille 2019

Odyssey Pierre Graffeuille et Matthieu Dumacher

This wine was made by Pierre Graffeuille and his friend from the Rhône, Matthieu Dumarcher. It is a perfect combination of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Médoc and Grenache from the southern part of the Rhône.
The wine is aged in French barrels and carefully integrated with the oak so as not to overshadow the fruity qualities of the Rhône varieties.

It has the tannic structure of the great wines of the Médoc, but also the charm, finesse and friendliness of the wines of the Rhône Valley.

This 5th edition of this blend consists of Cabernet Sauvignon (55%), Grenache (25%) and Mourvedre (20%).

The agriculture is 100% organic and production is limited (9230 bottles).

Lisa Perrotti Brown gave 94/100 : “ The 2019 Odyssee is an eclectic blend of Bordeaux and Rhone vineyards, made by Pierre Graffeuille (now at Montrose) and Matthieu Dumarcher, composed of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Medoc, and 25% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre from the Rhone. Medium garnet-purple in color, it springs from the glass with vivacious notes of black raspberries, mulberries, and juicy plums, followed by an undercurrent of crushed blackcurrants, Indian spices, and charcoal with a waft of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with spicy black fruit flavors, supported by velvety tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long with a skip in its step .”
