"An exquisite blend of Clairette and Bourboulenc".
"Vacqueyras Odyssey Blanc 2022 is a blend of 80% Clairette and 20% Bourboulenc. Ripe pineapple, honeyed lemon and baking spices define the aromas. The wine has a ripe, well-textured, balanced style that can only blossom in the bottle." (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

About the wine:
Aromatic and seductive, with notes of yellow plums, cooked lemons, warm herbs, honeysuckle and peaches. Medium-bodied, with a textured mid-palate. Well-balanced and concentrated. Enjoy now.
