Guigal was founded in 1946 in Ampuis, Northern Rhône, by Étienne Guigal. Over generations (Étienne → Marcel → Philippe), the estate has become one of the greatest names in Rhône wine. Condrieu La Doriane was first released in 1990, conceived as Guigal’s premier single-vineyard Viognier from Condrieu, intended to showcase the highest expression of beauty, oak, fragrance, and aging potential for white Rhône.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGuigal’s in-house team, under Philippe Guigal, produces La Doriane with meticulous attention. Grapes are selected from the top parcels in Condrieu, hand harvested, and vinified with high oak influence. Only the best fruit is used and maturation is in new French oak barrels to add texture, complexity and to age gracefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eLa Doriane sources from several prized lieux-dits (vineyard plots) in Condrieu: including Cote Chatillon, Chéry, Vernon, Volan, and Colombier (in communes like Condrieu, Malleval, etc.). These vineyards are on steep granite or granitic soils, often with mineral, iron components. The climate has hot days, cooler nights, giving ripeness with aromatic lift. Yields are low, vines are older, enhancing concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2023 vintage was matured for nine months in 100 % new French oak. The wine sees full malolactic fermentation (MLF) to round acidity and enrich texture. Fermentation is likely temperature controlled to preserve aromatic compounds. The élevage in new oak gives richness, spice, and aromatics that combine with fruit purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAromas of orange blossom, honeyed flowers, toasted spice, and grilled peach.

Decanting briefly is optional but helpful to let oak scents open and aromas widen. Use a good white wine glass with enough bowl to capture aromatics from oak and Viognier.

Drink window starts around 2025-2026 and will develop through 2034 and possibly longer. With good cellaring (cool, 10-12 °C, stable, dark) it will develop tertiary notes—honey, nuts, toast, wax—with fruit fading more gently over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; percentage used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e100 % Viognier\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e14.5 %\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eScores\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJeb Dunnuck — 98 Points\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJames Suckling — 95 Points\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eVinous Media (Nicolas Greinacher) — 94 Points \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jebsen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47922271748310,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/5465\/4934\/files\/E.GuigalCondrieuLaDoriane_02ec70d6-9d08-4e5c-8134-f032ca484917.png?v=1773668016","url":"https:\/\/www.pinotera.com\/products\/e-guigal-condrieu-la-doriane-2023","provider":"Pinotera Wines \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
