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 Parallele 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.
Vinification
The 2009 Parallele 45 Cotes du Rhone is a fresh, medium bodied red driven by notes of black fruit
and exotic spices with a rounded and delicate mouthfeel.
