Conclusion
Really great wine, very very fresh and clean.Paul Jaboulet Aine is one of my favourite producers not only in the Rhone but of any region. Parallele 45 is the entry level wine they produce and is certified organic.
Plenty of fruit sweetness, balanced with seamless acidity + tannin.
Still manages to hold on to a great freshness throughout with a slightly savoury finish.
Bang for buck one of the best wines you can buy.1 person found this helpful 1,576 views
