2009 Mas Jullien Rouge, Côteaux de Languedoc

Mas Jullien Rouge, Coteaux de Languedoc
Mas Julien’s 15 hectares were developed by Olivier Julien in 1985 and are located in Jonquières amidst the rocky terraces of a plateau (if that doesn’t sound too contradictory) on the fashionable Terrasses du Larzac.

The terroir is divided between the argilo and the calcaire (clay and the limestone); the wines themselves come from Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan, vinified by parcel and aged for around 18 months in demi–muid. 2009 has produced, unsurprisingly, a more profound wine than 2008. A heady nose, with almost a hint of youthful volatility, cedes to a richly layered and deeply satisfying palate, with refined powdery tannins, firm acidity and plenty of damson and blackberry fruit providing a sumptuous backdrop.

Mas Jullien Rouge, Coteaux de Languedoc
Olivier Julien now matures the wine in large Austrian-made foudres and 600-litre barrels. This has 45% each Carignan and Mouvèdre with a complement of Grenache and Syrah. It's a dense, fresh, tightly structured but refined wine with huge potential.
