Paul Jaboulet Aîné Parallèle 45 Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2022 (Magnum) is a vibrant southern Rhône blend from the historic house Paul Jaboulet Aîné. Crafted mainly from Grenache and Syrah with smaller portions of Mourvèdre, Marselan and Carignan, it offers juicy aromas of red berries, dried thyme and bay leaf with hints of baking spices. The medium-bodied palate is smooth and fruit-driven, supported by silky tannins and a lively, spice-tinged finish. A generous and versatile Côtes du Rhône perfect for sharing.
