Editors' Choice

Price $23

This is nicely floral on the nose, with black cherry fruit accented by hints of thyme and bay leaf, while the flavors are a harmonious mélange of herb, spice and ripe fruit. It’s full bodied and slightly chewy at first, turning more velvety on the finish. Drink now–2017. — J.C. (10/1/2012)

Vidal-Fleury 2008 Muscat Blanc à Petit Grain (Muscat de Beaumes de Venise)

Online Exclusive

Price $19

Very aromatic, as Muscat is prone to be. The nose offers a blend of kitchen cleanser (Fantastik), orange blossom and candied citrus peel. It's full and sweet from head to toe, with flavors of honey, spice, orange marmalade and banana. A little bit of heat and alcohol rises up on the finish, evidence of its 15% abv. — W.E. (10/15/2010)

Online Exclusive

Price $13

Now owned by Guigal, this bottling should be fairly easy to find in the United States, with 35,000 cases imported. Its dense, youthful purple color presages intense aromas of jammy black and red berry fruit, while gamy notes, black olives and dried herbs add complexity. The blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% Carignan is long and smooth on the… — W.E. (10/15/2010)

Vidal-Fleury 2000 Red (Côtes-du-Ventoux)

Best Buy

Price $9

With pretty aromas of leather and chocolate, and a chunky fruit-filled palate featuring the essence of apple skins, this is quite a wine for the price. It’s certainly young and hard, but like any raw but good youngster it’ll reward patience and will do best with food. Bargain hunters should snap this one up. Best Buy. —M.S. — M.S. (2/1/2003)

Vidal-Fleury 2000 Red (Côtes du Rhône)

Best Buy

Price $10

This wine is a fine example of all that’s good about the appellation. It has a complete nose of bold berries. The palate is open and welcoming, with cherry and raspberry fruit framed by a light shade of oak. Even the finish, which is round and nicely textured, works. And with light but healthy tannins, it’s a breeze to drink. Best Buy. —M.S. — M.S. (2/1/2003)

Vidal-Fleury 2001 Viognier (Côtes du Rhône)

Best Buy

Price $10

Sweet and floral, mostly because some Viognier is in the blend. The palate offers zesty citrus, ripe melon and just enough sugar and spice to make things nice. Even on the finish it holds together. A trifle sweet but quite well done. Best Buy. — M.S. (9/1/2003)
