History
Previously named Chteau Peyre-Lebade due to its geographical location, the estate has been renamed Chteau Odilon, in honour of the painter Odilon Redon who spent his childhood and most of his active life on the property. Many of his most famous paintings were inspired by the bucolic landscapes of the Mdoc, dotted with moors and marshlands.
Regional Information
Chteau Odilon is in the Listrac-Mdoc appellation, in the middle of the limestone plateau, away from the Gironde estuary. The property thus benefits from a relatively sheltered environment.

Vinification Details
The clay-limestone soil enables a remarkable resistance to periods of dry weather. The proximity of the Atlantic ocean brings an element of freshness, that is reflected in the bright, fresh aromatic style of the wines. The terroir has proven to be particularly well-suited to Merlot, in a region where Cabernet Sauvignon traditionally predominates. As a result, Chteau Odilon has a very distinctive character for a Mdoc wine.
