Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour. Founded by Etienne Guigal in 1946, Domaine Guigal is located in the Cote Rotie, more precisely in Ampuis. Today, the estate, which has vineyards in the most prestigious appellations of the region (including Condrieu, Gigondas, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, and Saint-Joseph), is run by the third generation of the family. Viognier grapes are selected and harvested by hand from vineyards on steep slopes with granite soils. The vines, which are about 35 years old, are grown according to sustainable agriculture practices. After harvesting and vinifying, the wine rests in small new oak barrels for about a year. Condrieu La Doriane is an expressive and intensely fragrant wine, with a broad and complex aromatic profile that reveals notes of stone fruit and yellow fruit, followed by hints of orange blossom in the background. On the palate, it is rich and round, powerful and elegant with a delicately viscous texture typical of Condrieu wines. It is fresh and well-balanced with a long and floral finish. It is a wine capable of aging very well but can be enjoyed now with pumpkin risotto, pork chops in apple sauce, or goose liver escalope.
