Paul Jaboulet Parallele 45 Côtes Du Rhône 2019 (France)

Description

• Ripe, jammy fruit
• Spice notes
• Red cherry
• Soft tannins

Deep and dense colour, spices aromas dominate (nutmeg and pepper) with notes of very ripe and jammy red fruits. The mouth is intensely flavoured, smooth and powerful, the tannins are well incorporated by a generous flesh. Roasted and smoky notes appear on the finish.

The soils are covered with round pebble stomes on the right bank of the Rhône (about half the parcels) and limestone-clay alluvium in the department de Vaucluse.

The mourvèdres are co-fermented with Grenaches to fix the colour and the tannins. The Syrah is vinified separately with maceration and soft extraction that last about 3 weeks.

This Côtes du Rhône takes its name from the 45th North parallel which runs two kilometres from the winemakers cellars. This cuvée represents Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné's commitment towards organic viticulture and respect for the environment. The hand-crafted organic farming results in a lively wine with great harmony and purity of fruit.

Food Pairing: Grilled meats, lasagna with Mediterranean vegetables, matured sheep's cheese, fondant au chocolat.
