"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)
