Maison Paul Jaboulet - Aîné Cotes Du Rhone Parallele 45 Blanc 2019

The Freys, a long-standing Champagne family and proprietors of Château La Lagune in Bordeaux, bought up Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné in 2006. Caroline, the family's eldest daughter, holds a degree in oenology from Bordeaux and works with her teams in a single-minded pursuit of perfection. «The grape must be a natural product, not the result of manufactured chemistry.» Caroline's philosophy has guided her vineyard towards biodynamic gardening over the past decade, culminating in organic certification in 2016.

This organic combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Viognier, and Bourboulenc is named after the 45th Parallel, which runs through the Rhône Valley. On the scent and taste, there are aromas of honey and ripe citrus, as well as flowery, herbaceous, and nutty characteristics. With a lingering finish, the vibrant acidity complements the richness and weight of the palate.
