“An exquisite blend of Clairette and Bourboulenc”

“The 2022 Vacqueyras Odyssey Blanc is a blend of 80% Clairette and 20% Bourboulenc. Ripe pineapple, honeyed lemon, and pastry spices define the aromas. The wine has a ripe, well-textured, and balanced style that is sure to blossom in the bottle. ” (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)
