En Aparté Odyssey 2015

En Aparté is the joint project of befriended winemakers Pierre Graffeuille from the Médoc and Matthieu Dumarcher from the southern Rhône. The idea is to create a great wine that brings together two of France’s most exciting regions – Atlantic and Mediterranean, Cabernet and Grenache, Bordeaux structure and Rhône suppleness. Under the En Aparté name, Vin de France cuvées such as Odyssée are produced, in which the power and tension of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Médoc merge with the aromatic richness and elegance of southern Grenache grapes. Complemented by varieties such as Mourvèdre, Syrah, Merlot or Counoise, the result is complex, profound wines with ripe fruit, fine spice, juicy texture and perfectly balanced structure – a deliberate break with tradition, offering strong appeal for collectors and wine lovers alike.
