Paul Jaboulet Aîné Parallèle 45 Côtes du Rhône Rouge Bio 2024

From Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné, Parallèle 45 Côtes du Rhône Rouge Bio 2024 is a northern Rhône Valley red wine shaped by the house’s long-standing focus on terroir. Founded in 1834, the domaine cultivates iconic landscapes across seven appellations, with the Frey family at the helm since 2006 and winemaker Caroline Frey leading the team.

Vineyard work follows a tradition of preserving and working the land, supported by biodiversity initiatives including a nine-hectare wildlife reserve and wider ecosystem preservation efforts. Certified AB organic since 2016, the vineyards have been cultivated biodynamically since 2021, with a regenerative approach that reflects the estate’s commitment to its heritage sites.

In the glass, this rouge is richly expressive, offering aromas of ripe strawberry and raspberry, layered with floral and spicy notes. The palate is fresh and delicious, showing good balance and supple tannins, making it a considered choice for those who appreciate a characterful, terroir-led Rhône red.
