A classic since 1950, Parallle 45 is celebrated around the globe and is one of Frances most recognizable wines. Parallle 45 is named after the 45th parallel, a famous circle of latitude that marks the midpoint between the equator and the North Pole. It also passes over the cellars of Paul Jaboulet An.The Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, and Mourvdre grapes for Parallle 45 are farmed organically. They grow on 40-year-old vines in clayey limestone and alluvial deposits composed of round pebbles. The grapes are destemmed, crushed, and the juice undergoes fermentation. The wine is then aged for 6 months in stainless steel vats and tronconic (truncated cone-shaped) oak vats on fine lees.14.0% ABV
