Mas Jullien
In recent vintages, Olivier Jullien has opted to buck the worldwide trend toward more specific vineyard- and varietally designated bottlings: beginning with the '97 vintage, he has actually amalgamated his cuvees and will release just a single red and a single white wine. "In '94, '95 and '96," he explained, "I found the two cuvees rather close in quality and concentration, if not in the way they expressed themselves. I began to think that a blend of all my material would be more complex. The South, after all, is about assemblage, about achieving balance through diversity of terroirs, cepages, altitude, soils. But I start by vinifying a number of varieties separately, especially when there is a wide difference in the ripeness and quality of the raw materials." According to Jullien, "'98 is great and '99 is better, with more refinement." Jullien, whose first vintage was 1985, described '97 as a year of very uneven ripening; he harvested in two passages 15 days apart. "The ripe grapes rotted before the underripe grapes ripened."
