Summary:
This Côtes du Rhône takes its name from the 45th north parallel which runs two kilometres from our cellars. In the village of Pont de l'Isère, a monument symbolizes this line with an inscription: ?The South begins here?. Our wine has had this name since the beginning of the 1950s.
Jaboulet Côtes du Rhône Parallèle 45 is a blend of Grenache and Syrah from vines averaging 25 years old. Sourced from vineyards throughout the Rhone valley that combine to produce a pure, clean expression of this region.
Vinification:
The grapes arrive at the winery and are sorted and vinified in stainless steel tank for 3 to 4 weeks to extract flavor, followed by 3-6 months in tank prior to bottling. The goal is to retain freshness and balance while producing a robust and food friendly wine.
