Domaine Odyssee 78 Blanc Roussillon / Aveyron 2023 White

About this product

Winebuyers's description

Natural organic Macabeu from a beautiful vineyard in Calce Roussillon blended 50/50 with Chenin Blanc from Aveyron in central France! The Chenin Blanc is from Vincent's friends at Coultades du Coustoubi. The '78' moniker comes from both postcodes being added together - 66 for Roussillon and 12 for Aveyron. The blend makes for a wine of great character with a precise floral nose a good body that has great tension with fine acidity. Really interesting and ultimately hugely satisfying wine. Vincent Carreras has been working in wine industry for 13 years. For nine years he worked for a winery in the south of the Roussillon Andy CookA's Mas Cristine and Coume del Mas. Working in the vineyard cellar and commercial activities - the whole shebang! For four years now he has been employed by a family winery based in Maury - Clos des Vins d'Amour. Who work 25 hectares organically in the west of Roussillon. Mostly in commercial activities but also working in the cellar. Alongside this in 2016 Vincent started a new project - Domaine Odyssee. The 3.5ha of vineyards are in Calce and Baixas in a heart of Roussillon. The sites are small but unquestionably some of the most beautiful we have seen. Vincent draws on the experiences mentioned above and his time in New Zealand (2011) Argentina (2012) and Bordeaux 2011 to help fully realise what he has there in his exceptional terroir. Vincent works organically using no weedkillers no chemical products. He works by hand and with organic fertilizer (he is in conversion right now). He harvests his parcels by himself with friends and family. In the cellar VincentA's philosophy is a minimum of intervention "To keep the fruit and the terroir.". The wines are extracted gently with just a little pump over. No filtration no fining. The only preservative is a little dose of sulphites in very low quantities at bottling "It is important for me the stabilise the wine in respect of the future customers".
