The Guigal Condrieu Doriane is an exclusive wine with very limited availability. It is vinified exclusively in small wooden barrels, specially designed for this wine. The Dorina is aged for nine months in new French oak. E.Guigal 'La Doriana' Condrieu is a 100% viognier cuvée from several separate plots. The soil of the Côte Chatillon plot (1 ha) consists of slate and limestone. The Colombier plot (1 ha) contains a lot of granite and sandstone. The Volan plot in St Pierre de Boeuf (1 ha) has granite and iron oxide soils. Grapes from the Coteau de Chéry plot (0.5 ha) were also used for the 2014 vintage. The many different terroirs give the wine depth. The average age of the grapes is 35 years. This single-grape viognier underwent malolactic fermentation and then aged for eight months in new wooden barrels. The wine smells of white flowers, peach, mandarin, and bitter citrus. The palate is fresh, round, rich, and full-bodied. The wine is medium to full-bodied, very pure, and elegant with wonderful depth and vibrant acidity. In a word, fantastic and always rated high in the 90+ points.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze La Doriane 2022 toont uitgesproken aroma's van witte bloemen, perzik en mandarijn met een subtiele bittere citrustoon, een rijke, medium tot full-bodied mondvullendheid en een levendige zuurgraad dankzij de rijping op nieuw Frans eiken die veel diepte en elegantie geeft. Daardoor vormt hij een ideale partner voor gevogelte, witte vis en schelpdieren: de frisse zuurgraad snijdt door romige sauzen en boterige texturen terwijl de aromatische viognier goed matcht met gegrilde of licht gekruide bereidingen; denk aan licht gebakken coquilles, een geroosterde poussin met kruidenboter of een romige kreeftenpasta, en zelfs delicate ceviche-achtige bereidingen met citrus werken prachtig en versterken het romantische karakter.

Maison E. Guigal is a winery with a great reputation. The company was founded in 1946 and is now three generations old. Founder Etienne Guigal strongly determined the current identity of this producer. Before setting up his own winery he collected his first experiences with the producer Vidal-Fleury. Marcel Guigal and his son Philippe are now in charge of the company. The latter is responsible for winemaking and thus follows in the footsteps of his grandfather, who experienced no fewer than 67 vintages.

Guigal is located in Ampuis, just 38 km south of Lyon. Here it has 60 hectares of land in the Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Châteauneuf du Pape, Tavel and Gigondas appellations. The Guigals are now also the owners of Domaine de Bonserine and Vidal Fleury. Since 1995, Guigal has managed the company from the famous Château d'Ampuis. This castle dates from the 12th century and was rebuilt in the Renaissance style in the 16th century.

The wine magazine Decanter named Marcel Guigal in 2006 "Man of the year." Renowned wine guide Guide Hachette takes it one step further and calls Guigal "the best winemaker in the world." Robert Parker also has deep respect for Guigal. The top wines of this producer regularly receive the highest score of 100 points. The 'La La' wines are special. These come from the 3 top locations 'La Turque', 'La Landonne', and 'La Moulin'.
