About this WINE
Mas Jullien
Mas Jullien's 15 hectares were developed by Olivier Jullien in 1985. It is located in an area of magnificent wine potential, that of the Terrasses du Larzac (Côteaux du Languedoc), in Jonquières amidst the rocky terraces of the plateau (if that doesn’t sound too contradictory), itself situated 40 km to the north of Montpellier.
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, delivering plenty of garrigue-influenced charm and a pleasing purity.
Other Varieties
There are over 200 different grape varieties used in modern wine making (from a total of over 1000). Most lesser known blends and varieties are traditional to specific parts of the world.

Description
The excellent white wine from Mas Jullien is an unnervingly complex blend, dominated by the relatively rare Carignan Blanc and Grenache Blanc, but with small injections of the more familiar Clairette, Roussanne, Viognier and Chenin Blanc also included. Made according to biodynamic principles, the wine glories in textural profundity, its floral aromatics and rich nutty palate never losing sight of the rasion d’être of great white wine, which is to combine freshness, balanced acidity and an inclination to match a variety of dishes.
