Mylène Bru | 2022 Franquette 'Vin de Soif' Syrah | $41 x 12 bottles
Producer’s notes: A simple and frank expression of a 100% Syrah cuvée vinified in whole bunches. This maceration gives it very fruity aromas, a slightly mentholated freshness, a sweet flavour with smoky notes and a length that reveals the taste of the wood of the vine.
History — A la Bonne Franquette! This means: in all simplicity. In the middle of the 17th century, people used to say "à la franquette", initially to say: "in all frankness", "Franquette" is a word derived from "Franc", which is perfectly adapted to this very frank vintage, which expresses all the fruit of the Syrah grape.
