Description

Mas Jullien Terrasses du Larzac 'Carlan' 2021Unlike the rest of Oliviers holdings, which are planted on predominantly limestone soil, Carlan features schist, sandstone, and iron, and is planted at 240 meters above sea level. The majority of the vines are 75 years old, with some younger vines at around 45 years of age. The blend is 50% Grenache, 25% Carignan, 15% Cinsault, and 10% Syrah. The combination of terroir and cpage give this wine a softer, fruit forward profile than Mas Julliens

This rare and very special wine

The Bandol from Pradeaux is a creature whose soul emerges from Mourvèdre

“San Vincent” delivers an authoritative and satisfying retronasal impression on the palate

but with a great sense of earthiness and a tenacious cling on the palate

the Champeaux produces a wine of great nobility and complexity

which yield a wine of remarkably fresh yet deeply penetrating minerality and gorgeously vivid blue and black fruits

Fermented via indigenous yeasts and aged just under one year in stainless steel

though in no sense is it tame

long maceration with wild yeasts and no temperature control

unfussy élevage is a tried-and-true method of harnessing maximum expression from the Syrah of Côte-Rôtie

It comes across as almost weightless on the palate

with fruits in the dark-red part of the spectrum
