Odyssea is a signature of Vignobles Gonfrier. Odyssea wines are the reflection of an ancient viticultural savoir-faire, with simple and precise practices, entirely vinified in oak barrels. Odyssea wines are racy, with a long aging potential.
Our philosophy is guided by the search for excellence.

The entire vineyard is managed using sustainable viticulture, certified as High Environmental Value, and we are committed to a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach certified by Ecovadis.
Vinification : The grapes are picked at their maximum aromatic potential and then placed in whole bunches in new and one year old French oak barrels where they undergo alcoholic fermentation. A post-fermentation maceration for three weeks that allows the wine to refine its phenolic balance. The wine is then racked and undergoes malolactic fermentation in the same barrels.
Ageing : 4 months in French oak Barrels
Tasting notes :
Odyssea Vin Orange has a brilliant colour with deep golden hues. The nose is marked by notes of exotic fruits and candied fruits with a strong intensity. The palate is a fine balance between acidity and roundness typical of this method of vinification in barrels. It is distinguished by its smoothness and its lingering elegance with a savoury finish.
We advise you to serve it between 12 and 14°.
It will pair perfectly with many dishes thanks to its aromatic opulence.
We particularly appreciate it with hake in court-bouillon and aïoli.
