Vidal-Fleury Wines
Vidal-Fleury have been producing high-quality wines of Rhone continuously since 1781, enjoying an historic reputation for the sheer authenticity and typicity they express through the many appellations in which they work. Based amidst the vineyards of the Cote-Rotie, they are equally active in the main regions of the Southern Rhone and have, since coming under the direction of famille Guigal in 1984, built a new winery where they've continued to focus on sustaining this high-quality and authenticity. We hope they continue another two hundred years!
