Established in 1781 in the Côte Rôtie vineyard, Vidal-Fleury is the oldest continuously operating winery in the Rhône valley. La Chatillonne is a single vineyard owned by Vidal-Fleury on the terraces of the Côte Blonde, producing some 4000 bottles of great wine per year. The cool climate brings richness and structure.

Founded in 1781, Vidal-Fleury is located in the midst of the Côte-Rôtie vineyards in the Northern Rhône, and is the oldest continuously operating wine producer in the Rhône Valley. Since the early days Vidal-Fleury has established a reputation for the production of high quality wines which show individuality and the typicity of the different Rhône appellations from which they come. Vidal-Fleury's renaissance began in 1984 when it was purchased by the Guigal family whose support allowed the business to flourish whilst still allowing it to operate independently.
