Imagine gripping a Syrah from Rhône’s extreme hillsides!

Vidal-Fleury’s 2019 Côte Rôtie Brune et Blonde, a cru-level blend of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier, erupts with black raspberry and smoky spice.

Hand-harvested from Côte Blonde and Brune’s steep terraces, this 2019 gem—praised by Jefferson in 1787—wows critics and 2100+ tasters.

Ready to conquer this Rhône legend?

Since 1781, Vidal Fleury, Rhône’s oldest estate, has mastered its craft, surviving phylloxera.

Modernized in 2006 with sustainable vineyards, it’s pure Rhône soul. Why sip anything less?

From Côte Blonde’s gneiss and Côte Brune’s schist, this 2019—a stellar vintage—marries black raspberry, smoked meat, and violets with peppery zing. Silky tannins, sculpted by 48 months in aged oak foudres, cradle a mineral spark from those grueling slopes.

Each sip pulses with cru-level intensity, lingering like a Rhône superstar.

At $55, this $100 treasure outshines $89 WineSearcher listings. Dual 94-point scores and 2100+ tasters’ raves confirm its elite status.

Hand-harvested, lightly filtered, and aged with precision, it’s a collector’s coup from Rhône’s pioneer.

Pair this with Warm Lamb Salad with Fresh Herbs, Feta, and Artichokes. Syrah’s smoky edge embraces lamb’s richness, while tannins lift feta’s tang, echoing the harmony of Rhône’s hills. Decant an hour to unleash its perfume.

Cheers!
