About Vidal Fleury
Vidal-Fleury is the longest continuously operating winery and n gociant in the Rh ne Valley. It makes wines from appellations all over the valley using the important regional varieties Syrah, Grenache, Mourv dre, Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne. The estate was founded in C te R tie in 1781 and was one of the wine estates visited by Thomas Jefferson in 1787 during his time in France. Vidal-Fleury was established by the Vidal family and only took the Fleury name after a marriage between the two families at the end of the 19th century. In the 1920s, the company began expanding into appellations in the southern Rh ne, while at the same time cementing its reputation as a C te R tie producer. Today, Vidal-Fleury makes red, white and ros wine from appellations that include Ch teauneuf-du-Pape, Saint-Joseph, Ventoux, Cornas and Condrieu. The signature wine is the single-vineyard La Chatillone from the C te Blonde in C te R tie. This wine is produced from old-vine Syrah grown on a 1-hectare (2.5-acre) plot, with up to 12 percent Viognier. For over a decade during the first half of the 20th century, Vidal-Fleury employed tienne Guigal before he founded the major Rh ne label E. Guigal. Guigal went on to buy Vidal-Fleury in 1984, although the two businesses continue to be run separately.
