Producers

The Ventoux rouge is predominantly a blend of 60% Syrah and 30% Grenache and originates from sloping vineyards that lie at up to 500 metres above sea level. Vidal Fleury was founded in 1781 and is the oldest wine house in the Rhône. From their base amongst the Cote Rotie vineyards they make a full range of wines from across the whole Rhône Valley.
