Paul Jaboulet Aine Cotes-du-Rhone Rouge Parallele 45 2022

$1399

A classic since 1950, Parallèle 45 remains the gold standard for what Côtes-du-Rhône can achieve. Named for the latitude where great wines flourish worldwide, this organic-farmed blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Marselan, and Carignan from 40-year-old vines hits all the right notes: juicy red berries, dried thyme, bay leaves, and silky tannins. The 2022 offers immediate pleasure with real substance beneath.

More about Paul Jaboulet Aine

Paul Jaboulet Ainé has been producing Northern Rhone wines for a respectable period of nearly 200 years. They have a large negociant business (making wine from various AOCs with purchased grapes), but also own a whopping 22 hectares of their own land in Hermitage. Their largest plot is in Le Meal, where they have about 30% of their Hermitage vines.

Their signature wine is one of the world’s most iconic wines: “La Chapelle” Hermitage. La Chapelle is simply a trade name that refers to St. Christopher. The wine is a blend of Le Meal, Bessards, Greffieux and another top vineyard site Roucoules. La Chapelle from vintages like 1961, 1978 and 1990 are considered some of the greatest red wines ever made.
