J. Vidal Fleury was founded in 1781 as a wine grower and proprietor of vineyards in the Côte Rôtie. With over two centuries of continuous operation, it is the oldest wine firm in the Rhône Valley. Founder Joseph Vidal strived to make wines which expresses the typicality of the various soils and achieved the highest quality possible. This work is continued today by his descendents, whose goal is to produce wines that are the finest expression of their application.

100% Viognier. A delightfully pretty rounded floral nose with some alcohol evident. The palate is soft and rich with good varietal character. Very good.
(Bottle)
Attractive nose with some earthy, spicy complexity to the berry fruit: it's almost meaty. Medium bodied palate is quite interesting with good concentration and some savouriness.
(Bottle)
70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. There's a pronounced pepperspice edge to the earthy nose. Quite a rich, chunky palate showing a good concentration of spicy fruit. Nicely textured, although a tiny bit rustic.
