"Msgr. Jean-Marie Odin" 2025
A white wine born from a blend of Grenache Blanc and Clairette, two grape varieties from the South, where the Mistral blows.
With a golden hue, the wine offers an elegant nose with notes of yellow fruit and lemon. The palate is characterized by great savoriness, with a broad and generous mid-palate, and a mineral finish.
The name of the cuvée pays tribute to Jean-Marie Odin, born in Ambierle in 1800. A young Lazarist missionary sent to the United States, he became the first bishop of Galveston, now Houston-Galveston. Naming this cuvée “Mgr Jean-Marie Odin” is our way of honoring his memory and recalling this beautiful history of the French roots of American Catholicism.
