Guigal, Condrieu Doriane Vintage:2017 I was really looking forward

I was really looking forward to the bottled version of the 2018 Pingus after a great showing of the cask sample last year

when they finally found the blend and character they were looking for

35 ha parcel close to the main road)

Interestingly this is bigger and more powerful than the La Vigne au Saint but it’s not necessarily more structured

I would not expect it to be a poor wine either

Guigal, Condrieu Doriane Vintage:2017 I was really looking forwardWhile the 2020 Condrieu la Doriane matured entirely in new oak, there's just a hint of toast on the nose. The rest of the bouquet features a kaleidoscopic swirl of floral and spice notes with melon and white peach. Medium to full bodied, it's exquisitely expansive and silky in texture, yet it remains refreshing on the lengthy, mouthwatering finish.
