Description
A deep red colour in the glass with an attractive brilliance. The bouquet is elegant and aromatic, with red fruits blended with spices. This Grenache, Syrah blend is a well-structured wine with rounded tannins and a final spicy note, giving the palate distinction.
Since the beginning of the 1950s this Cotes du Rhone has taken its name from the 45th North parallel, which runs two kilometres from the cellars of Maison Paul Jaboulet. In the village of Pont de Isre, a monument symbolises this line with the inscription 'the South begins here'.
This blend (Granche 60% & Syrah 40%) was selected from vines with over 35 years of age. The soils in this area are limestone and clay soils.
Winter was quite rainy and there were few frosts during this time, yet summer was dry and warm with temperatures rising above 37c between mid-June and mid-August. The 2015 vintage has married the wealth of the sun with the elegance of balance, being exposed to traditional vinification with long vatting, controlled fermentation temperatures and ageing in stainless steel tanks. This wine recieved daily pump overs through the vinification period. 20% of the juice was aged in Fench casks over the 12 months. The resulting wine is best enjoyed now but can be, with carful cellaring, be kept upto five years.
Food Pairing: Perfect throughout the meal served alongside Pot au feu, grilled and rosted meats and a wide selection of cheeses.
