Guigal La Doriane Condrieu 2022

Guigal La Doriane Condrieu 2022 is a prestigious expression of Viognier from one of the Rhône Valley’s most celebrated appellations. Combining ripe stone-fruit character with floral freshness and finely integrated oak, this remarkable vintage offers both richness and an elegant, energetic profile.

Tasting Notes
Bright golden in appearance, the wine opens with expressive aromas of quince, apricot, yellow apple and lemon zest, complemented by notes of vanilla and cedarwood. Subtle hints of spring flowers and melon add further complexity. The palate is juicy, layered and beautifully balanced, with a refreshing sense of inner energy that keeps the wine precise rather than heavy. Ripe stone fruit carries through to a long, floral finish. Enjoyable now for its freshness and aromatic intensity, it should also develop added savoury and honeyed nuances over the next several years when carefully stored.

Production
Produced exclusively from Viognier grown in the steep, granite-rich vineyards of Condrieu, La Doriane reflects the variety’s natural aromatic intensity while retaining a refined Rhône character. The grapes are harvested by hand at low yields and handled with great care before fermentation and maturation in oak, allowing the wine’s notes of vanilla and cedar to integrate with its floral and fruit-driven profile. The 2022 vintage is distinguished by its balance, freshness and concentration.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C to reveal the wine’s perfume without muting its texture. It is a natural match for roast chicken, grilled or poached fish, lobster, scallops and creamy seafood dishes, while its aromatic character also complements lightly spiced Asian cuisine and soft, mature cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but 20–30 minutes in a decanter can help open the wine’s layered aromas, particularly when served young.
