Odyssée is the result of Jacques Lurton's 30 years experience as an international flying winemaker. This wine was born from the marriage of modern New World techniques with the richness of a French terroir. At a time when people are longing for escape and novelty, Odyssée takes you on a journey for the time of a tasting.
