The same blend and elevage, the 2012 Crozes-Hermitage also shows the variety nicely, with white peach, citrus, mineral and quince all emerging from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, balanced and dry, with vibrant acidity, it too should drink nicely for 5-7 years. Owned by the Guigal team, with the wines made by Guy Sarton-de-Joncquey, Vidal Fleury produces a wealth of high quality releases, most of which represent fantastic values. In addition to the northern and southern Rhone releases reviewed here, readers should also look at Issue 209 for the remainder of the southern Rhone efforts.
