Established in 1781 Vidal-Fleury is the oldest continuously operating winery in the Rhone Valley. This Chateauneuf du Pape is a blend of 85% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre whose grapes are grown on stoney terraces of this world famous appellation. We recommend that this wine is decanted before serving. | |
