2938 – RED WINE CROZES-HERMITAGE OF VIDAL-FLEURY – WINES OF FRANCE
History: It was in 1781, in the small town of Tupin-et-Semons, south of Lyon and in the most prestigious vineyard of the Rhone, when Joseph Vidal founded the house of the same name. From the beginning it acquired an international reputation thanks, in particular, to exchanges with the United States. Thomas Jefferson, then US Ambassador to France, visited the property in 1787. In the 1890s, Gustave Vidal married Miss Fleury and Maison Vidal became Maison Vidal-Fleury. These nuptials come at the right time because the bride’s dowry makes it possible to replant the vine that has just suffered the devastating attacks of phylloxera. In 2008, the House took a new step and invested in new cellars of more than 9,000 m² to optimize the aging, packaging and aging of the wines in bottles. Today, Maison Vidal-Fleury has no less than 19 of the most prestigious appellations of origin in the Rhone Valley.
Vinification: Syrah grapes are harvested by hand. The traditional maceration lasts three weeks. After temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the young wine matures and ages for nine months in large oak barrels. The wine rests in the bottle for another four months before going on sale.
