Paul Jaboulet Parallele 45 Cotes du Rhone White

92 Points - James Suckling Both rich and round, this white wine Parallèle 45 Paul Jaboulet is a white wine from Organic Farming. This cuvée takes its name from the 45th parallel North which passes 2km south of the cellars of the Domaine! The Jaboulet family has established itself in a multitude of prestigious names of the Rhône Valley such as Hermitage or Crozes-Hermitage. Among its most accessible wines, this white wine is one of the references with the Red Parallel 45! Dressed in a beautiful straw yellow dress with green reflections, this white Parallel 45 reveals a frank nose of candied fruits, white flowers, citrus fruits, all accompanied by subtle fresh and spicy shades of juniper. Wide and warm, the aromas of grapefruit and pineapple continue to reveal later, a beautiful freshness in the finish! Its elegant and juicy body is associated with a well-integrated and very pleasant acidity. In the mouth, this white wine Parallèle 45 Paul Jaboulet has a rather full-bodied character on ripe tannins and already quite melted. The Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné is the story of a magical encounter: that of a generous terroir on a hill on the edge of the Rhône and a family, passionate about the vines.
