Tasting Note
Vidal-Fleury Côte-Rôtie 2019 is aromatic, structured, and beautifully Northern Rhône in character. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and blueberry are layered with classic notes of violet, cracked pepper, smoked meat, and olive tapenade. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, showing dark fruit concentration, fine-grained tannins, and vibrant acidity that brings lift and precision. Savoury, peppery, and persistent, it finishes long with mineral tension and elegance—pure Côte-Rôtie Syrah.
About the Winery, Production & Critical Reputation
Vidal-Fleury is one of the Rhône Valley’s oldest wine houses, founded in 1781 and long regarded as a reference point for classical Northern Rhône wines. Their Côte-Rôtie is sourced from steep, granite-rich hillside vineyards, traditionally vinified to emphasize structure, aromatic complexity, and terroir expression rather than excess power. The 2019 vintage in the Northern Rhône produced wines of balance and depth, and Vidal-Fleury delivered a refined, age-worthy expression. Critics consistently praise Vidal-Fleury for reliability and typicity, often scoring their Côte-Rôtie in the low-to-mid 90s and highlighting its elegance, savoury complexity, and excellent value within the appellation.
