Established in 1781 in the Northern Rhone Valley, Vidal-Fleury is the oldest continuously operating winery in the Rhone Valley. Guy Sarton-du-Jonchay joined the company in 2008 and has been instrumental in bringing new life to the company and improving wine quality. The harvest in 2012 was generous and healthy and the berries reached perfect maturity. 'Here the Syrah shines through with beautiful round tannins, delicious notes of red fruits and liquorice together with some woody character' says Guy. | |
