Paul Jaboulet Aîné ′Parallèle 45′ Organic Côtes Du Rhône 2020/21

Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné was founded in 1834. The name is behind some of the Rhône Valley’s most historic and celebrated wines. Since 2006, the estate has been in the hands of accomplished winemaker Caroline Frey. Her leadership has seen the estate gain organic accreditation. This Grenache-Syrah blend is named after the 45th parallel north – the circle of latitude, which passes close to the winery, located close to the famous hill of Hermitage. Along with traditional barrel ageing, the wine spends a few months in stainless steel tanks, helping retain freshness and lively aromas. It’s wonderfully fragrant, with floral, bramble and sweet spice notes. Bold, ripe fruit flavours make it a superb choice to enjoy with a cheese board.

In 2022, this wine won an IWC award for the 2020 vintage.
