Paul Jaboulet-Aîné : Parallèle 45 2024

Based on 30% Viognier, 30% Grenache Blanc, 20% Roussanne, 15% Marsanne, and 5% Clairette from 40-year-old vines, the 2024 Côtes Du Rhône Parallele 45 Blanc was aged six months in stainless steel tanks on fine lees. Juicy peach, tangerine, and honeyed white flowers define the nose, and it's medium-bodied, clean, bright, and refreshing on the palate. It shows solid balance, purity, and length, making it well worth drinking over the coming year or two. Drink 2026-2028.
