A full-bodied and beautifully fresh Red wine from the Rhône Valley
The estate
Iconic name among the great wines of the northern Rhône Valley, the Maison Paul Jaboulet-Aîné was founded in 1834 in Tain-l'Hermitage. The renowned oenologist and winemaker Caroline Frey leads this illustrious house, owned by the Frey family since 2006. Maison Paul Jaboulet-Aîné oversees a vineyard of 125 hectares, spread across exceptional appellations such as Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, Cornas, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise.
The vineyard
The Parallèle 45 cuvée from Paul Jaboulet-Aîné is a Côtes du Rhône wine produced exclusively in organic farming. The vines, which average 40 years old, are planted on soils composed of rolled pebbles on the Rhône’s right bank and clay-limestone alluvial deposits on the other bank.
The wine
The name of this wine refers to the 45th parallel north, which runs near the estate’s cellars.
Vinification and aging
This Rhône wine is the result of six months of aging in stainless steel vats and conical tanks.
Blend
This 2023 Parallèle 45 from Paul Jaboulet-Aîné is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Marselan and Carignan.
