The 2021 Mas Jullien Terrasses du Larzac Autour de Jonquieres is a testament to Olivier Jullien's dedication, as he's widely admired for elevating the region's wine quality through biodynamic practices and uncompromising balance. This flagship cuvée is known for its rugged yet refined character, showcasing an uncanny combination of elegance and power.
On the nose, expect a complex bouquet of leather, animal notes, sweet spices, blackcurrant, and blackberry, alongside hints of graphite, pepper, scrubland, and violet. The palate is powerful with beautiful aromatic intensity, leading to a long finish marked by tart candy and licorice, all framed by lovely tannins. Some tasters also find notes of oak, butter, chocolate, and various dark and red fruits.
Food pairing suggestions include prime rib on the BBQ, rack of lamb roasted with thyme, or a hearty Taureau gardiane. It also pairs wonderfully with game, grilled meats, beef, veal, and pasta dishes.
This wine is versatile; it can be cellared for several years or enjoyed in its youth after decanting. Serve it at 18°C, ideally decanted for 30 minutes beforehand. It's recommended for drinking from 2026 onwards, with potential to age beyond 2041. 【Vinous awarded an excellent 95-point score for the 2021 vintage】, highlighting its exceptional quality.
