Domaine de Bonserine - Condrieu 2019
15,5/20
RVF
Freshly enhanced by lively oak aging, the nose offers a heady and intense expression where the fruit—both alcoholic and candied—is framed by floral, spicy, and brioche notes. The palate composes a generous symphony in a refined style, blending powerful yet elegant aromas, the rich, creamy texture of the wine, and its lively tension. A full-bodied Condrieu, offering candied fruit aromas, balanced between richness and fruitiness.

Rated estate (2026 guide): 3* Stars (A high-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
This small estate produces only four wines—three from Côte Rôtie and one from Condrieu—from its 12 hectares of owned vineyards, 11 of which are in Côte Rôtie, spread across a large number of plots. Owned by the Guigal family since 2006, the estate is managed by an independent team. The wines tasted are consistently flawless, but they lack just a touch of magic to truly serve as great ambassadors for the Côte.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
By acquiring this estate in 2006—which was founded in 1961 and expanded and modernized in the 1990s—Marcel Guigal added a jewel to his already richly adorned crown: a 12-hectare vineyard planted primarily with “Serine,” an old variety of Syrah, which produces Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated 15.5/20 (2018 vintage) (Good wine)
Rated Estate (2026 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
Acquired by the Guigal family in 2006, the Bonserine estate has retained complete autonomy. At the helm, Ludovic Richard can draw on a fine portfolio of vineyards in Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu. The entire vineyard is plowed, and the use of native yeasts is standard practice. The red wines are currently quite bold, but they will mellow with time.
