($17, W. J. Deutsch & Sons Ltd.):  This is a brilliant white Côtes du Rhône.  Guigal, the leader in the Rhône, purchased Vidal-Fleury about twenty-five years ago.  Their hand, in the form of a healthy amount of Viognier, is apparent in this wine.  To lighten and brighten their white Côtes du Rhône, Guigal has gradually increased the amount of Viognier in the blend.  The 2010 Vidal-Fleury, with 75% Viognier, has lift and freshness along with captivating floral elements.  This is an easy-to-recommend wine for spring and summer. 89 Michael Apstein Apr 10, 2012
