A classic since 1950, Parallèle 45 is the oldest Côtes du Rhône brand still in existence. Parallèle 45 is named after the 45th parallel, a famous circle of latitude that passes over the cellars of Paul Jaboulet Aîné. It is known as the “Latitude of Great Wines”, crossing over Willamette Valley in Oregon, Bordeaux in France, Piedmont in Italy, and of course the Rhône Valley in France. The 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.
Garnet red in color, this fruit-forward wine has notes of strawberry, cherry and spices with a powerful finish

Structured aromas of black raspberry, black olive and pomegranate open on the nose accented by violet blossom. The palate performs as a Côtes du Rhône blend should with balanced flavors that capture the spirit of the region. A tinge of leather adds to the finish. Pair with pork tenderloin, boiled peanuts and hanger steak.
