Paul Jaboulet-Aîné : Parallèle 45 2025

The structure and balance of a white wine from the Rhône Valley

The estate

An essential figure among the grands crus of the northern Rhône Valley, Maison Paul Jaboulet-Aîné was founded in 1834 in Tain-l'Hermitage. The renowned winemaker and oenologist Caroline Frey heads this prestigious House, which joined the Frey family portfolio in 2006. Maison Paul Jaboulet-Aîné manages a 125-hectare wine estate spread across outstanding appellations such as Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, Cornas, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise.

The vineyard

The Parallèle 45 cuvée from Paul Jaboulet-Aîné is a Côtes du Rhône wine produced exclusively under organic farming. The vines, with an average age of around 40 years, take root in terroirs made up of rolled pebbles on the right bank of the Rhône and clay-limestone alluvium on the opposite bank.

The wine

The name of this wine is a reference to the 45th parallel North, which passes near the estate's cellars.

Winemaking and aging

This Rhône wine is the result of a 6-month aging in stainless steel tanks on fine lees.

Blend

This Parallèle 45 2025 white by Paul Jaboulet-Aîné is a blend of Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne and Clairette.
