Description
Jaboulet Parallèle 45 Côtes Du Rhône Red Blend
A classic since 1950, Parallèle 45 is celebrated around the globe and is one of France’s most recognizable wines. Parallèle 45 is named after the 45th parallel, a famous circle of latitude that marks the midpoint between the equator and the North Pole. It also passes over the cellars of Paul Jaboulet Aîné.
The Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, and Mourvèdre grapes for Parallèle 45 are farmed organically. They grow on 40-year-old vines in clayey limestone and alluvial deposits composed of round pebbles. The grapes are destemmed, crushed, and the juice undergoes fermentation. The wine is then aged for 6 months in stainless steel vats and tronconic (truncated cone-shaped) oak vats on fine lees.
Vintage
The 2022 vintage began with a lack of rainfall during the winter months. Budburst was rather late but vegetative development accelerated quickly. Flowering took place towards the later half of May and very quickly due to high temperatures. The summer started with a stormy episode that gaves the vines some rest. Very hot weather followed in July and August without any rain. Rains in mid-August allowed the vines to recover. The grapes were on average lower in weight than normal, promising a rich vintage with concentrated flavors and beautiful colors.
Jaboulet Parallèle 45 Côtes Du Rhône Red Blend features a deep garnet red in color, this fruit-forward wine has notes of strawberry, raspberry and spices with balanced and supple tannins.
