Product History

Odyssée 319 Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs embodies the spirit of the Odyssée 319 house, created in 2018 to celebrate each village of the Champagne appellation. This cuvée draws its grapes exclusively from the Grand Cru plots of Avize (Le Levant sector), where the Chardonnay reaches optimal maturity thanks to the chalky soils and ideal exposure. Named "Odyssée," it represents the continuity of the oenological exploration of the 319 Champagne crus. On Le Levant, the gentle slope and cool microclimate favor a long fermentation, offering fine bubbles and exceptional mineral tension. This cuvée is vinified without artificial yeast, then aged on fine lees for at least 36 months, revealing all the typicity of the Avize terroir.

About the distillery

Odyssée 319 brings together a team of passionate winemakers, determined to explore every Champagne cru. Located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, the distillery collaborates with more than seventy plots spread across the 319 crus, mostly classified Grand Cru and Premier Cru. The approach consists of vinifying each batch of Chardonnay separately in small, temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve the distinctive characteristics of the chalky soils. Hand-harvesting allows for rigorous selection of the grapes, which are gently pressed in pneumatic presses. Aging on fine lees takes place in historic chalk cellars, where the constant temperature of approximately 11°C ensures slow and regular fermentation. This method gives Odyssée 319 champagnes fine, creamy bubbles and intense mineral tension. The team works closely with geologists and oenologists to map subsoil differences and adapt cultivation practices (pruning, grassing, water management) to each plot. Committed to a sustainable approach, the house focuses on biodiversity, avoiding herbicides and favoring beneficial fauna. The cellars house approximately 40,000 bottles currently aging, ventilated by the sea breeze that rises up the Marne Valley, contributing to the characteristic salinity of Avize champagnes. Visitors can discover the complete process, from vine to bottle, and contemplate the mosaic of micro-terroirs that make the Champagne appellation so rich.
