Regional information
The Rhone Valley is one of France's most important wine growing regions covering a long strip of land from Avignon in the south to Vienne in the north. The area produces more appellation wine than any other part of France, with the exception of Bordeaux. This very diverse region is split into two sections. The north is dominated by the Syrah grape and prestigious appellations which include Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage and St Joseph.

Vinification details
Red wines and selected whites are matured in oak casks; a proportion of wines are matured in new oak. This restrained and selective use of oak ensures that the wines are supported and complemented by oak maturation but never dominated.
Vidal-Fleury vinifies many of its grapes at wineries close to the vineyards from which they come to ensure the grapes remain in good condition and do not have to travel long distances.
