Odyssée is an association from Matthieu Dumarcher (organic Rhône Valley specialist) and Pierre Graffeuille (former general manager of Domaines Delon, now General Manager of Montrose). This cuvee recalls ancient practices from the 19th Century, when wines from Médoc and Rhône Valley were blended together. The 2019 blend is Cabernet Sauvignon from Northern Médoc and Grenache & Mourvèdre from Rhône Valley, the latter being 100% estate-grown from Matthieu’s vineyards. Wines are blended and aged in the Rhône Valley. 9,230 bottles produced.
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
Milk chocolate cherry notes on the nose, ripe and welcoming. Supple, ample and fresh, this has nice definition on the palate with a bitter orange, dark chocolate and savoury garrigue herbal aspect coming through. It's still quite angular with edges of sweet spice, liquorice and toasted wood coming through but I like the confidence. It's full and bold, powerful but delivered with a controlled touch. The alcohol and wood stand out a touch and just mark the finish though there is nice tension and precision throughout. Made from 55% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Médoc (harvest from 25/9 to 8/10), 25% Grenache from the Southern Rhône (harvest from 17/9 to 19/9) and 20% Mourvèdre from the Southern Rhône (harvest from 19/9 to 21/9).
