Paul Jaboulet Parallele 45 Cotes du Rhone 2022

Northern style Cotes du Rhone, with beautiful fresh Syrah character. Notes of wild berries, white pepper, lavender and cherries. This balanced red finishes with incredibly juicy Grenache flavours. The blend is 53% grenache, 37% syrah, 5% mourvédre, 3% marselan and 2% carignan.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "A perfectly executed white wine blend with a lifted bouquet of white fleshed fruits and dry stone mineral qualities, then flavours of the apple and lemon, apricot and white spices, there’s a saltiness from the Marsanne and Roussanne varieties as well as white apricot and a whisper of pepper and dried herb. Dry, plenty of weight with some fruit tannins for mouthfeel, medium+ acid line and a balanced persistent flavours on the finish. Best drinking with food from day of purchase through 2027."

Gabrielle Poy writes "Glossy red berries and roses on the nose lead into a juicy core of red and black berries tinged by herbal and savoury flavours. It’s buoyant, fresh and inviting. With airing, liquorice flavours appear. A cage of tannins supports, providing the necessary structure needed to balance the bold and beautiful core."
