JS91

Paul Jaboulet Aîné Parallèle 45 Côtes du Rhône 2023 is a classic expression of Rhône craftsmanship, named for the 45th parallel that runs just north of the estate’s historic cellars. This vintage reflects the balance, purity, and approachability that have made Parallèle 45 one of the most trusted Côtes du Rhône bottlings in the world. Crafted primarily from Grenache and Syrah grown in the region’s warm, stony soils, the wine captures the essence of southern Rhône terroir with bright fruit, gentle spice, and effortless drinkability.

The 2023 vintage opens with inviting aromas of red cherry, raspberry, wild herbs, and subtle pepper. On the palate, it delivers supple red fruit, soft tannins, and notes of plum, licorice, and Mediterranean garrigue. The texture is smooth and medium-bodied, offering a harmonious balance of freshness and depth. A clean, lightly spiced finish makes it a versatile pairing wine—equally suited for everyday enjoyment or casual gatherings.

Parallèle 45 is prized for its consistency and value, offering true Rhône character at an accessible price point. Whether served with roasted meats, pasta, cheese boards, or enjoyed on its own, this 2023 release continues Jaboulet’s long tradition of producing elegant, expressive wines that highlight the region’s natural beauty and winemaking heritage.

"The smoke and black pepper notes of syrah are intertwined with the fleshiness and mellower personality of the grenache grape in a very convincing manner. Behind this is a solid base of supple tannins that has been expertly crafted."
