Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Slightly deeper and more coppery in hue than many of its counterparts, the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Rose is made in a grown-up, savory style. There's no bubblegum or cotton-candy fruit here. Instead, it delivers crushed stone, melon and berry flavors in a medium-bodied, silky-textured format, finishing on a completely dry stone-and-citrus note. Drink it over the next several months.

Vidal Fleury was founded in 1781 as a wine grower and proprietor of vineyards in the Cote Rotie. With more than two centuries of continuous operation, it's undisputedly the oldest functioning winery and wine firm in the Rhone Valley.
Founder Joseph Vidal strove to produce wines that expressed the typicity of the various soils and to achieve the highest degree of quality possible. True to the founder's goals. the winery continues to produce wines that are the finest expression of their appelation. Today Vidal Fleury offers a comprehensive range of red, white and rose wines from the Rhone Valley. Recognizing the enormous potential of Vidal Fleury and the value of its brand, the successful Rhone winemaker Marcel Guigal bought the company in 1986. Modern equipment in a spotless environment is used to implement the traditional methods in winemaking.
All red wines and selected white wines are matured adn aged in oak barrels and casks. Selected cuvees are aged in new oak for part or all of the maturation process.
