"A great white from the South of France, of great rarity, vinified with the immense experience of Olivier Jullien".

Mas Jullien's white wine is among the elite of the great Languedoc whites for its generosity and intensity. An extraordinary wine, capable of shining for over fifteen years of ageing. Exceptionally consistent. Please note very limited quantities!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated (guide 2024) 93/100 (Vintage 2021)

Domaine rated (2019 guide) 4*Stars (Very high quality producers, the glories of the French vineyard)

About the domain :

Settled in Jonquières, west of Montpellier, Olivier Jullien's intuition and intelligence have enabled him to raise the quality of the region's wines to the highest level, and he has led a whole generation of young winemakers to follow in his footsteps. He set up in 1985, and his estate now comprises 18 hectares of land with a wide variety of soils (clay-limestone, silica, sandstone), cultivated without certification (the estate was certified in the past) in an unclaimed organic farming approach to avoid dogma. Autour-de-Jonquières corresponds to the original terroir of Mas Jullien on parcels of essentially limestone scree. Carlan comes from schist at altitudes of 200 to 400 meters, and a new cuvée, Lous-Rougeos, comes from high-altitude terroirs that were almost abandoned, at the foot of the collapsing Larzac plateau. All the reds are at the very top of the Languedoc and fully evoke its typicity, with notes of sage, garrigue and thyme complemented by constant freshness. They evolve slowly and age admirably. Great whites and rosés too.

Domaine rated (guide 2021) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment)

About the domain :

More than any other Languedoc winegrower, Olivier Jullien commands the admiration and respect of his peers. From the terraces of Larzac, he is one of the main architects of the renaissance of rigorous viticulture, in search of combinations and nuances between the variety of soils and the use of indigenous grape varieties. The sincerity of this visionary, who shuns competition, shines through in his deep, digestible and generous wines, southern in their intensity and diversity of flavors, rather than simply in the ripeness of the grapes and their illusory richness in alcohol. Fresh, full-bodied reds, meticulously matured to shine over fifteen years of ageing, as well as a magnificent white that stands out from the crowd, make this estate a benchmark.
