Description

Mas Jullien Terrasses du Larzac 'Autour de Jonquieres' 2020Aged 2 years in a combination of demi muids and large foudres, Autour de Jonquieres is built on the back of old vines Mourvedre (40%) planted in poor limestone soils, with 40% Carignan and 20% Syrah as well, also from very old, minuscule yielding vines.

penetrating focus on the palate

this combination of two-thirds Marsanne and one-third Roussanne fermented in steel and spent six months in wood before bottling

and spends three years in large Slavonian botti before bottling

They are assembled prior to barrel aging

30% Grenache (1962) and 10% Mourvèdre (1949)

000 per hectare

a joyousness that underlines its kinship with their Blanc and the Rosé
