The grapes arrive at the winery and are sorted and vinified in stainless steel tank for 3 to 4 weeks to extract flavor, followed by 3-6 months in tank prior to bottling. The goal is to retain freshness and balance while producing a robust and food friendly wine.

“P45” competes head-to-head with wines from France, Italy, Spain and the new world and justifies its reputation as France’s greatest value red wine year after year. The Jaboulet’s named their Cotes du Rhone in the early 1950’s and the name has been synonymous with quality and value ever since.

Under Jaboulet’s new owners, the Frey family, Parallele 45 is reaching new quality levels. In 2007, Jaboulet vineyards passed qualification for reasoned agriculture, encompassing: vineyard management, fertilization and vine treatments. This first step to obtain double certification ISO 9001/ISO 14001 indicates Jaboulet’s commitment to sustainable vineyard practices.
