Condrieu 'La Doriane' Guigal 2020

The Guigal-branded Condrieu "La Doriane" is an enfant prodige that already now delivers excitement, but in the future will amaze with complexity and depth. Pure Viognier is worked in wood to increase the aromatic profile of the bottle, which in addition to typical varietal scents, can then offer more tertiary sensations endowed with a particular complexity. Velvety on the palate, where the sip is kept full and enveloping, it is connoted by a profile in which elegance rules. A label of absolute level from which emerges the Guigal family's bond with the terroir that runs to the left and right of the Rhone River. To be indulged in when you want to make an occasion unforgettable.

"La Doriane" Condrieu from Guigal originates from pure Viognier grapes grown within several parcels scattered throughout the Condrieu AOC within the Rhone Valley. The grapes obtained from the destemming of the clusters are gently pressed, and the resulting must ferments in oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation also takes place. The final stage of ageing has a total duration of 8 months in small oak barrels. At the end of this period, the winery proceeds with bottling and marketing operations.

Guigal's Condrieu "La Doriane" announces itself to the eye with a bright and brilliant colour, recalling the golden yellow hue. The nose turns out to be enveloped in a range of intense notes, bringing back flowers and fruit, highlighting a particular aromatic verve and tertiary references on the finish of the olfactory analysis. The palate is medium-bodied, with an incisive and expressive sip that moves with a fresh and rounded drink. A fine label that catches the eye of all enthusiasts on the shelves of wine shops around the world.
