Parallèle 45 is named after the famous latitude on which renowned wine-producing regions are located worldwide. It spans France and is just over a mile from the Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné cellars. This wine blends iconic Rhône grape varieties, grown in clayey limestone soils with alluvial deposits of round pebbles. The vines have an average age of 40 years. The entire vineyard is certified organic and cultivated with respect for the soil and the living ecosystem. Viticulture is viewed as a long-term endeavour, a continuous quest to regenerate the environmental sphere, thus providing the means for terroir-driven fine wines to shine. The vines are manually harvested.
