Parallèle 45 White Dne.Paul Jaboulet Aîné Côtes du Rhône AOP 2025

The iconic white Côtes du Rhône from Paul Jaboulet Aîné. Grenache blanc, bourboulenc, marsanne and viognier: lively, floral, served chilled with fish and goat cheeses.

Parallèle 45 takes its name from the 45^th parallel, which crosses the Rhône Valley at Tain-l'Hermitage. It is the flagship cuvée of the Paul Jaboulet Aîné house, founded in 1834 and based in the heart of the northern Côtes du Rhône.

The wine. Pale gold with green highlights. The nose combines white flowers, apricot and a hint of citrus. On the palate, the attack is lively, driven by grenache blanc and bourboulenc, with richness provided by the marsanne and a touch of viognier on the finish. Vinified in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, without any oak ageing, to preserve the fruit.

Food and wine pairings. Grilled fish, shellfish, tomato tart, fresh goat cheeses, Mediterranean cuisine. Pairs particularly well with brandade or roasted Mediterranean vegetables.

Service and storage. Serve between 10 and 12°C. Drink within three years of the vintage to enjoy its aromatic freshness. Alcohol content: 13.5% vol. 75 cl bottle.

The 2025 vintage. A sunnier year, with aromas of ripe fruit and a generous texture.
