✨ Technical Specifications

Named after the 45th parallel north, which runs just two kilometers from the Jaboulet cellars in Tain-l'Hermitage, the Parallle 45 Ros is a vibrant tribute to the gateway of the sunny South of France. This line of latitude has historically marked the boundary where the Mediterranean climate truly begins, bringing the warmth and wind necessary to cultivate expressive Rhne varietals. Crafted primarily from Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah, this ros is produced using a combination of direct pressing and short maceration to capture a delicate pale pink hue and bright red-fruit aromatics. It reflects the Jaboulet family's commitment to accessible, terroir-driven wines, offering a fresh, lively, and balanced expression of the Ctes du Rhne appellation.

🍾 About the Producer

Founded in 1834 by Antoine Jaboulet, Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné is one of the most revered estates in the Rhône Valley, situated along the storied slopes of Tain-l'Hermitage. Since 2006, the maison has entered a dynamic era under the leadership of the Frey family, with viticulturist and winemaker Caroline Frey converting the prized terroirs entirely to organic and biodynamic cultivation. The house is universally acclaimed for crafting benchmark Rhône expressions, most famously the legendary Hermitage 'La Chapelle' and the iconic 'Domaine de Thalabert' Crozes-Hermitage, alongside vibrant Côtes du Rhône cuvées like the 'Parallèle 45' range. Combining precision cellar craft with an unwavering commitment to parcel-specific biodiversity, Paul Jaboulet Aîné produces structured, age-worthy Syrahs and elegant, aromatic white wines that epitomize the grand cru heritage of the region.
