"A tasty Côtes-du-Rhône!
Both lively and enveloping, this Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc will delight your taste buds with its fresh citrus and apricot notes. A hint of minerality counterbalances the silkiness on the palate to create a beautiful harmony. The long finish gives way to pretty floral aromas. Enjoy now with a refined aperitif.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
A new wind is blowing at Vidal-Fleury. Antoine Dupré has replaced Guy Sarton du Jonchay at the head of the oldest trading house in the Northern Rhône (founded in 1781), now owned by the Guigal family but managed independently. New commercial ambitions, and also gradually a new style in the cellar, which is beginning to show in the range on offer. To be continued.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Cité (Vin réussi)
About the domain :
The oldest Rhone wine merchant in business, founded in 1781 from its vineyards in Côte-Rôtie, and renowned from an early date - Thomas Jefferson held a memorable banquet here in 1787. Owned by the Guigal family since 1986, it boasts a monumental cellar, whose architecture is inspired by the Egyptian site of Saqqarah.

Domaine noté (guide 2024) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Founded in 1781, Vidal-Fleury is the oldest winery still in operation in the Rhône Valley. Acquired by the Guigal family in the early 1980s, it boasts a modern, high-performance infrastructure, as well as autonomous management and winemaking. The range is vast, covering most of the Rhône Valley's major appellations. The wines are now reliable, in a rather classic style.
