Vidal Fleury, Gigondas, 2020

It's been a long time since Chateauneuf has offereed great value-for-money.

They know we love the name, and they know we'll pay whatever to get our hands on it.

Next door, you've got Gigondas. Here there's a brilliant reputation for creating the kind of quality wine that was coming out of Chateauneuf 20 years. ago.

Established in 1781 in the Northern Rhone Valley, Vidal-Fleury is the oldest continuously operating winery in the Rhone Valley. Today they operate across the Rhone's choicest terroirs, allowing ample time to age and mature the wines.

We've got one of these from the 2004 vintage and it drinks spectacularly, so expect this to get better and better.
