Wine Description:
Crafted through meticulous processes spanning vineyard care, vinification, aging, and bottling, Vidal-Fleury wines embody excellence. Winemaker Guy Sarton du Jonchay attributes their quality to premium grape origins and patient maturation. Grown on the gentle slopes near Dentelles de Montmirail, Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes flourish in marl, clay, and sandy soils at elevations of 150-500 meters. Manual harvesting precedes indigenous yeast fermentation and a maceration period in temperature-controlled tanks. Aging occurs on lees for about three months in tanks, followed by at least six months in large oak casks.
Pros:
  • Rich and intense aromas of dark fruits and spices

Cons:

Wine Expert Note:

This red wine from the Vacqueyras appellation is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. On the nose, it offers aromas of blackberry, red currant, and hints of pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied and round, with ripe tannins, good acidity, and complex flavors of red and dark fruit, clove, and leather. The finish is long and persistent.
