E. Guigal, Condrieu 2024 White

E. Guigal Condrieu 2024 is an elegant expression of Viognier from one of the Rhône Valley’s most distinctive appellations. Known for its richly perfumed character and polished texture, it combines ripe stone-fruit flavours with a fresh, harmonious finish. The wine also reflects Guigal’s long-standing influence in the Northern Rhône, a domaine whose history began in Ampuis in 1946.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a clear golden-yellow colour in the glass. Its intense, floral nose opens with inviting aromas of apricot, peach and citrus, complemented by the expressive perfume typical of Viognier. On the palate, it is fresh yet rounded, with a rich, supple structure and full body. Ripe, juicy fruit flavours are balanced by gentle acidity, creating a harmonious and refined impression. The finish is delicate and elegant. Although delicious in its youth, this Condrieu is best enjoyed over the next few years while its floral and fruit-driven character is at its most vibrant.

Production
Made from Viognier in Condrieu, in the Northern Rhône, the wine reflects the region’s celebrated terroir for richly aromatic white wines. Guigal works with low yields and a strong respect for natural vineyard conditions. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at low temperature, with one third carried out in new oak barrels and two thirds in stainless-steel tanks. The wine then undergoes full malolactic fermentation before ageing entirely in new oak, adding texture and subtle depth to its generous fruit profile.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C. This Condrieu is a natural match for grilled or roasted fish, shellfish, creamy seafood dishes, poultry with a delicate sauce and mildly spiced Asian cuisine. It also pairs beautifully with soft, aromatic cheeses. Decanting is generally not necessary, although a brief period in a carafe can help open the wine’s floral aromas when served young.

Producer
E. Guigal was founded in Ampuis in 1946 by Étienne Guigal, who had begun working in the cellars of Vidal-Fleury as a 14-year-old in 1924. His son Marcel joined the business in 1961, and the domaine is now also represented by the third generation, Philippe Guigal, who oversees the winemaking. Guigal is one of the Rhône’s most influential producers and a pioneer of single-vineyard wines in Côte Rôtie, particularly its celebrated La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque cuvées. Its portfolio also includes Condrieu La Doriane and other Rhône classics, all made with a focus on low yields, respect for nature and precise, understated winemaking.
