Made from 100% Viognier, the Condrieu La Doriane is produced from a blend of fruit from five of the appellation’s greatest vineyards set on steep, terraced vineyards. Named Colombier, Volan, Côte Chatillon, Vernon & Chéry, they are all located on the right bank of the Rhône river between the appellations of Côte-Rôtie and St. Joseph.
With a mammoth score of 98 points, Jeb Dunnuck places this as his highest scoring Condrieu of the 2019 vintage, as well as the second highest scoring vintage of La Doriane ever, closely behind the 99 poiints 2015:
“The 2019 Condrieu La Doriane is another tremendous effort from this estate that does everything right… this is a quintessential expression of this cuvée and it’s hard to imagine how it would be any better’ – Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Condrieu La Doriane is another tremendous effort from this estate that does everything right. Reminding me slightly of the 2015 with its power and richness, it still has plenty of freshness in its apricot, ripe pineapple, honeyed marmalade, flowers, and cream aromas and flavors. Already complex and full-bodied, with good acidity and a fabulous finish, this is a quintessential expression of this cuvée and it’s hard to imagine how it would be any better. These always have the capacity to age, yet I find them most enjoyable with 6-12 months of bottle age and then over the following 3-5 years.

The now globally famous Guigal estate was created in 1946 by Etienne Guigal. Today, Etienne’s son Marcel Guigal and his son Philippe run the estate along with wine-maker Jacques Desvernois (previously of Paul Jaboulet Aîné) and it stands as one of theRhône’s if not the world’s greatest estates with a long and successful history of producing some of the globe’s greatest bottles: “This reference point estate was created in 1946 by Etienne Guigal and has been one of the world’s greatest wine estates for over seven decades now” – Jeb Dunnuck
