Les Derniers Etats d'Ame Blanc
You need 600 benefit points to obtain this bottle.
The fresh and greedy cuvée of Mas Jullien, to be drunk on its fruit and youth. Juicy orchard fruit on the palate, complemented by sweet spices and aniseed notes.
Blend of Grenache and Carignan on clay-limestone and limestone gravel soils, as well as Roussanne and Clairette
Aged in demi-muids for one year and then in tuns
More than any other winemaker in the Languedoc, Olivier Jullien commands the admiration and respect of his peers; he is one of the main architects of the renaissance of rigorous viticulture in the region, seeking the nuanced combination of soils and varied native grape varieties, in red and white, on the terraces of Larzac. The sincerity of this visionary who shuns competition is reflected in his wines, which are deep, digestible and generous, southern in their intensity and variety of flavours, not simply in the ripeness of the grapes and their illusory richness in alcohol. Fresh, full-bodied reds, carefully matured, but also a magnificent white that is out of fashion, capable of shining for more than fifteen years of ageing. The wines of this estate are now a reference.
Located in Jonquières, about forty kilometres north of Montpellier, the estate covers about fifteen hectares. Olivier Jullien works numerous micro-parcels spread over a vast area on the high terraces of the Hérault. The soil is mainly clay with limestone pebbles, but some plots are also composed of silica or sandstone, which leads to an enormous diversity of expression.

The Estate Mas Jullien
"Installé à Jonquières à l'ouest de Montpellier, Olivier Jullien, référence incontestée et incontestable, est parvenu avec intuition et intelligence à hisser au plus haut le niveau qualitatif des vins de la région et a entraîné derrière lui toute une génération de jeunes vignerons.
Il s'est installé en 1985 et son domaine compte aujourd'hui 18 hectares de terres aux sols très variés (argilo-calcaires, silices, grès), cultivés sans certification désormais (le domaine l'a été par le passé) dans une démarche d'agriculture biologique non revendiquée pour échapper aux dogmes.
Autour-de-Jonquières correspond au terroir originel du mas Jullien sur des parcelles essentiellement d'éboulis calcaires. Carlan est issue de schistes de 200 à 400 mètres d'altitude, lous-rougeos provient de terroirs d'altitude qui étaient presque abandonnés, au pied de la zone d’effondrement du plateau du Larzac.
Une nouvelle cuvée la-brune, réalisée près de Jonquières complète la gamme avec une tendresse unique. Tous les rouges sont au meilleur niveau du Languedoc et évoquent pleinement sa typicité, avec des notes de sauge, de garrigue et de thym, d'une fraîcheur constante. Nous avons été subjugués cette année par le toucher de bouche de labrune 2018." 4*/5 Bettane+Desseauve
