Founded in 1781, the Vidal-Fleury house was the smallest of the historic estates in the northern Rhône. It has always asserted itself through the quality of its wines, adapting to different vintages. With around twenty appellations, it benefits from one of the widest ranges in the Rhône Valley. In 1984, the estate was bought by the Guigal family and the work continues in continuity: Etienne Guigal was winemaker and cellar master at the Vidal-Fleurys.
