About Paul Jaboulet Aîné Parallèle 45 Côtes Du Rhône Blanc 2021
This wine comes from a renowned winery with a rich history. The Paul Jaboulet Aîné vineyards, located in the Côtes Du Rhône région, have been producing exceptional wines for over 200 years. Its blend of different grape varieties resulting in a harmonious and refreshing taste is what makes this wine special.
What is Côtes du Rhône?
The Côtes du Rhône appellation made its debut in November 1937 to serve as a universal category for high-quality Rhône wines from the region’s less renowned and prestigious vineyard locales. Although it may not carry the same level of prestige as the renowned names of the Rhône, such as Châteauneuf, Côte Rôtie, and Hermitage, the Côtes du Rhône designation has steadily ascended to become one of France’s most widely recognized and beloved wine classifications.
What sets the grapes from this vineyard apart and makes them truly exceptional?
Following the change in ownership in 2006, Caroline Frey has shifted her focus towards accentuating the fruit’s expression.
“Accentuating the fruit’s expression” means that the winemaker focuses on bringing out the natural and vibrant flavours of the grapes used in the wine. It typically involves techniques and practices that allow the fruity and varietal characteristics of the grapes to shine through in the final wine rather than being overshadowed by other elements like oak or processing. This results in a more fruity, fresh wine that reflects the specific grape variety and the vineyard’s terroir.
This transformation has catapulted Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné back to the pinnacle of the world’s most exceptional wines.
What grape is Cote du Rhône Blanc?
This exceptional bottle is a product of four grape varieties: Bourboulenc, Viognier, Marsanne, and Grenache Blanc.
Tasting Notes
You will notice a bright and crisp flavour with a touch of citrus. It’s like a burst of freshness on the palate. The aroma is equally delightful, with hints of flowers and fruits and a juicy body well integrated with tangy acidity—a true representative of the Rhône white wines.
Serving Tips
This delight is so easy to enjoy. Simply chill it slightly, around 7-10°C (45-50°F). This brings out its refreshing qualities. So versatile, whether a casual get-together or a fancy dinner, it fits right in.
How long can you keep Côtes du Rhône?
Since many Côtes du Rhône wines are to be enjoyed soon after they’re made, it’s a good idea to try them within the first 3 to 5 years of production.
Food Pairings
Perfect culinary alchemy for this beauty is a shrimp cocktail or a fresh garden salad. Its citrusy notes will complement the seafood, and its crispness will cut through the richness of the dressing.
For cheese lovers, brie or goat cheese harmonises wonderfully with this wine.
Awards
Renowned for its exceptional estate wines like La Chapelle, Paul Jaboulet Aîné is a true treasure of the Rhône Valley. Their commitment to quality extends beyond premium cuvées, as evidenced by the Parallèle 45 blanc. Named after the 45th parallel latitude that traverses the Rhône Valley, this wine embodies the region’s terroir and finesse.
