Product Description

Overview

Winery: Chateau de Mus

Closeout:

Domaine de Mus Roussane-Vermentino is an original blend of Roussanne (85%), Vermentino (15%). Separate wine-making, blending before bottling operations. No Oak.

The wine is an unoaked blend of  Roussanne (85%), Vermentino (15%). Separate wine-making, blending before bottling operations. Brilliant light color. On the nose aromas dominated with orange blossom and lemon notes.Fresh and complex on the palate, with citrus flaoting on a crisp finish.

Grapes are very carefully protected against any oxidization, as soon as picked up and during the carriage into the cellar. Night harvesting, when the temperature is the lowest. Complete destalking, direct pressing into CO2 atmosphere. Stalling for 24 hours, and immediate racking at 8°C : the clearest juices only are selected. Fermenting process set off with selected yeasts addition, in stainless steel tanks, under heat monitoring, during 30 to 40 days.
Maturing on fine lees, all winter long, with regular stirring of the lees. Fining and bottling.

Review:

"Mostly Roussanne (there’s just 15% Vermentino), the 2017 Roussanne-Vermentino is a fresh, vibrant white that over-delivers at the price, giving up lots of citrus, lemon, and minty notes in a medium-bodied package. It has a touch of minerality, fleshes out nicely with time in the glass, and is an outstanding white to enjoy over the coming year or two."

The Chateau de Mus is located in Murviel-Les-Beziers in the Languedoc region.It is home to a gorgeous Renaissance-style castle.

The Julien Family has been working hard in the vineyards, in the cellars, but they also have a restoration project for the chapel and the castle located on the property. Today, Yannick and Brice are representing the 5th generation of winemakers in the Family.

Date Founded: 2004

Owner: Bernard and Marina JULIEN, and their sons, Yannick, today Maître de Chai, and Brice, Sales and Export Manager

Winery Philosophy: The Julien's Family is dedicated to producing modern wines using traditionnal grape varietals. In order to achieve this goal, they believe in clean and fully ripen fruit, destemming, temperature controlled vinification, as well as sustainable viticulture.

Dating back at least 800 BC, the Château de Mus represents one of the largest archaeological sites in Hérault, illustrating the prehistoric, Celtic, Roman, Greek and Etruscan ages. The estate was named after an ancient fortified place called « Murus » («city wall» in Latin), built up on a promontory over the Orb river. At MUS, a Romanesque church was built in 1070 (today its restoration is in progress) such as one of the six first castles of the area. Twice destroyed during the crusade against the Cathars in the 13th C. the former mansion was replaced in 1848 by a Renaissance-style castle, prefiguring the great times of the “wine chateaux” in Languedoc.

The JULIEN'S bought the CHATEAU DE MUS in 2004
