Vin de Liqueur Mas Jullien Cartagène Olivier Jullien 2000

The wine

Cuvée Cartagène is a liquor wine (a fortified wine to which wine spirit has been added during fermentation to arrest the process). It offers up a pink hue with orange tints and unfurls aromas of strawberry, raspberry and rose. On the palate it is rich, rounded and indulgent and marked by its freshness and fine balance.

About the Producer Mas Jullien

The spearhead of the Languedoc wine revolution, Mas Jullien was created by Olivier Jullien in 1985. Located in Joncquières, to the north of Montpellier, the domain covers 18 hectares. By studying his soils carefully and using native grape varieties, Olivier Jullien has elevated his domain to the highest levels of excellence, producing refined, subtle, perfectly-balanced wines. The vineyard is cultivated in an environmentally friendly way, and was even organically certified for a while. Olivier Jullien produces superb wines which are acknowledged and sought out by connoisseurs and professionals alike. Thanks to his work, the domain is now clearly at the very peak of the appellation.
