Vidal-Fleury - Côtes du Rhône rouge 2021

4.2/5 (5 reviews)

"A must-have!

If you have to choose a Côtes-du-Rhône, don't miss this one from Vidal-Fleury! A beautiful expression of Grenache, full-bodied and delicious, with a well-balanced tannic structure. Candied red fruit notes are enhanced by black pepper and thyme. The finish is long, with hints of cherry. This wine will enhance your aperitifs and match many meat dishes.

Vidal-Fleury - Crozes Hermitage rouge 2022

"A delicate Crozes-Hermitage".

This is a surprising Crozes-Hermitage, where the greediness of the Syrah reveals floral and red berry notes (wild strawberries, raspberries). The finish is slightly saline, with hints of menthol. In its youth, we recommend opening it at least 2 hours early or decanting it to appreciate its full complexity. A vintage to leave in the cellar for a few years...

Vidal-Fleury - Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde rouge 2020

"A wine made for laying down".

"The Côte-Rôtie is classic, quite dense and fleshy, but without heaviness, with a palate that blends notes of black fruit and spice, all served by a good fresh length. A fine bottle to drink within 10 years". (Le Guide RVF 2024). The estate's emblematic cuvée since its creation.

Vidal-Fleury - Saint-Joseph 2012

3.8/5 (4 reviews)

"The solar 2011, a favorite in the previous edition, is succeeded by a less ambitious 2012 that nonetheless has family resemblances with its "big brother" in its rich, full, silky character and concentrated, warm fruitiness." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015). A straightforward, firm wine, with a gourmet balance between fruit and spice, a touch of oak, and great length in both structure and aroma... A Saint-joseph of choice!

Note in Guide Hachette: 2**(Remarkable wine) + Coup de Coeur
"Founded in 1780, Vidal-Fleury is the oldest Rhône Valley wine merchant still in business, and part of the Guigal family. The future president of the United States and then new ambassador to the young nation, Thomas Jefferson, was welcomed here in 1787 with a memorable banquet. Today, the focus is on Egypt, through the architecture of the vast cellar (9,000 m2) inspired by the site of Saqqarah. Nothing less than this monumental, mastaba-like setting was needed to welcome this "solar" wine, intense and complex on the nose (blackcurrant, pepper, Zan, thyme, roasted coffee), powerful, full-bodied, dense and long, built by tight, silky tannins. There is majesty in this wine, and the future belongs to it". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014)
