2023 Côtes du Rhône Blanc 'Parallèle 45', Paul Jaboulet Aîné

Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, France

A classic since 1950, Parallèle 45 is celebrated around the globe and is one of France’s most recognizable wines. Parallèle 45 is named after the 45th parallel, a famous circle of latitude that marks the midpoint between the equator and the North Pole. It also passes over the cellars of Paul Jaboulet Aîné.

The Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, and Marsanne grapes for Parallèle 45 Blanc are farmed organically.   The wine has mouthwatering aromas of apricot, citrus, and white floral notes, leading to a full-bodied palate balanced by exquisite freshness through to a delicate, fruity finish.
