Mylène Bru | 2022 Cartouche 'Vin de Soif' Grenache/Carignan | $38 x 12 bottles
Producer’s notes: Cartouche has a bright, vivid, luminous colour. Its nose has an immediate, simple fruitiness reminiscent of grapes. Its taste is reminiscent of the flavour of pomegranate juice. On the palate, it is first of all an explosion of fresh fruit with great liveliness. The beautiful bitterness at the end opens up the appetite!
History — This vintage celebrates spring, cheerfulness, siesta under the fig tree, sharing and celebration. It has also been created to celebrate a festival that we love: The Worldwide festival of Sète. It is the favourite wine of Gilles Peterson, the famous DJ, passionate about music and creator of the festival. (tech notes below)
