Coteaux du Languedoc - Terrasses du Larzac Mas Jullien Autour de Jonquières Olivier Jullien 2017
The wine
Autour de Jonquières comes from a blend of about ten lieux-dits around the village and in the neighbouring communes, selected for their complementarity. This cuvée is vinified by gentle extraction, with punching down and pumping over. The wine is then aged for 12 months in demi-muids (single-plot vinification). After blending, a further 12-month aging process takes place in foudres. An expressive, deep and complex wine is the result.
