A blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Cinsault and 10% Syrah, this racy rosé has some serious weight on the palate. Vinified as a vin de saignée, a short maceration with a long fermentation under controlled temperatures is employed. Attractive salmon pink color, with brilliant tint in the glass. Intense and rich bouquet with very ripe berries. Ample and generous with tart red berries and an attractive final note of freshness. This wine defines the word delicious! Cotes du Rhone.
Since 1958 our company exclusively sells the wine « Parallèle 45 ». The name comes from the 45th latitudinal parallel that passes at Pont de l’Isère, 2 kilometres south of our cellars. A small monument indicates this demarcation, where one can read « Here begins the south ». The « Parallèle 45 » is a perfect balance between the two great grape varieties of the Rhône valley : Syrah and Grenache Noir. This wine, very successful, has seen its production increase sixfold in ten years (2,000,000 bottles in the year 2000).The vinification traditionally takes pace in vats, fermentation is controlled following our own winemaker’s technique. Ageing continues in vats then in bottles in our cellar, enabling us to sell these wines was they are stable and refined.
This is a pleasantly quaffable Viognier, with restrained apricot and melon aromas and flavors. It’s medium bodied, without much texture, but a clean, refreshing finish.
