This Côtes du Rhône takes its name from the 45th North parallel which runs two kilometres from the cellars of Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné. In the village of Pont de l’Isère, a monument symbolises this line with the inscription: “the South begins here”. Our wine has had this name since the beginning of the 1950s.
The 2006 harvest shows remarkable quality, due to careful leaf-thinning on the vines. The grapes were carefully selected during the harvest so that only the best fruit was used for production. Grapes were placed in 20 kg plastic crates for protection during transport to the winery.
Matching Food and Wine: Grilled/roasted meats. Pot au feu, Cheese , “Perfect throughout the meal.”
