The Vidal Fleury La Chatillonne Cote Rotie is a remarkable expression of Northern Rhône Syrah, showcasing the elegance and complexity of its famed single vineyard. This iconic wine delivers a powerful yet refined experience, representing the pinnacle of the Côte-Rôtie appellation.
Maison Vidal-Fleury is the oldest continuously operating winery in the Rhône Valley, with a history dating back to 1781. Acquired by the Guigal family in the 1980s, the estate maintains its unique identity and commitment to traditional winemaking. This heritage solidifies its position as a benchmark producer of classic Northern and Southern Rhône wines.
This wine exhibits a deep ruby hue, releasing intense aromas of black raspberry, violet, and smoked bacon, accented by white pepper and graphite. On the palate, the Vidal Fleury La Chatillonne Cote Rotie reveals a rich texture with silky tannins, balancing dark fruit flavors with savory notes of olive and earth. The finish is exceptionally long and mineral-driven, promising excellent aging potential.
Serve this exceptional red slightly chilled, around 16-18°C (60-65°F), to best appreciate its complex aromatics. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast, grilled lamb chops with rosemary, or a wild mushroom risotto.
