Dom. Mucyn 2024 Crozes Hermitage Rouge "Les Entrecoeurs"
From the Domaine: The name of this pure Syrah wine has been taken from an operation carried out in the vineyards. Pruning the “entrecoeurs” (lateral shoots) entails going through the vineyards at the start of summer to remove the superfluous branches. The sap is therefore concentrated in the branches that will bear the fruit.
“Entrecoeurs, literally “between hearts”, or between “two hearts” in our case... This technical yet very poetic term also reminds us of Hélène & Jean-Pierre’s shared labour of love. The heart of the collection, this wine has received plaudits from top international sommeliers.

Notes from the Producer: The name of this pure Syrah wine has been taken from a vineyard task. Pruning the “entrecoeurs” (lateral shoots) entails going through the vineyards at the start of summer to remove the superfluous branches. The sap is therefore concentrated in the other branches, those that will bear the fruit. “Entrecoeurs, iterally “between hearts”, between “two hearts” in our case... This technical yet very poetic term also brings to mind Hélène & Jean-Pierre’s shared labour of love
