Vintage 2023
An iconic Rhône red, rooted in the line that defines the valley. Since 1950, Parallèle 45 has been a hallmark of the Côtes du Rhône, widely recognised for its balance, approachability, and unmistakable French character. Named after the 45th parallel north, which passes directly over the cellars of Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné, this organic red blends Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Marselan, and Carignan from 40-year-old vines.
The dark red black tinged core shows good depth with a dark red black tinged hue. Elevated ripe black cherry, black raspberry and liquorice scents are trailed by earthy incense characters and pepper. Medium bodied, generous black cherry and liquorice flavours sit over scorched earth, infusions of incense and spicy pepper characters. Dryish finish with slightly chewy but ripe tannins. Aftertaste of peppered black cherries and liquorice, scorched earthy incense and spice.
Cellar 4-5 years.
