"An abundance of ripe fruit and orange blossom aromas for incredible intensity!"

“The fabulous 2022 Condrieu La Doriane displays pronounced aromas of quince, apricot, vanilla, yellow apple, lemon zest, and cedar. Hints of spring flowers and melon add further layers. Juicy and multi-layered, this exceptional 2022 wine exhibits remarkable inner energy and balance. It is neither rich nor heavy, but rather completely fresh and refined, finishing with notes of stone fruit and a floral finish.” (Vinous 2023)

Rated estate (2023 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)

About the estate:

Marcel and Philippe Guigal jointly lead the successful family business, which since 2017 has expanded significantly in the south, to Châteauneuf-du-Pape (77 hectares of owned vineyards), supplemented in the spring of 2022 by the 100 hectares of Château d’Aquéria. And, as always, the estate boasts a rich portfolio of vineyards in Côte Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, and Hermitage. Wine enthusiasts can savor some of the valley’s greatest vintages, not to mention the brilliant Côtes-du-Rhône—in all three colors—and Tavel, Philippe’s favorite wine.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

In addition to its “treasures” in côte-rôtie, Hermitage, and Condrieu, the Guigal estate owns two beautiful plots in Saint-Joseph: the “Saint-Joseph” vineyard, which gave its name to the appellation, and the Vignes de l’Hospice, planted on a very steep granite hillside—a site already identified by the monks of the Hospice de Tournon—with a geological formation similar to that of the famous Bessards hill in Hermitage.

5-Star Rated Estate (Outstanding Production)

About the estate:

An iconic figure of the northern Rhône, Marcel Guigal is both a major wine merchant and a prominent winegrower. In the latter capacity, he cultivates famous vineyards in Côte Rôtie, such as La Mouline, La Turque, and La Landonne, not to mention La Doriane in Condrieu. A tireless worker with an insatiable intellectual curiosity, he succeeded his father, Etienne. Philippe Guigal, an oenologist representing the third generation, continues the family legacy alongside his father, maintaining this dual focus on estate winemaking and wine trading. Winemaking for the northern appellations takes place entirely in Ampuis.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

The most iconic winery in the northern Rhône Valley needs no introduction. Under this umbrella, we bring together the wines from our own vineyards, which we thus distinguish from our wine merchant operations. This includes the famous trio from the “ Côte-Rôtie ”: La Mouline, La Turque, and La Landonne; the first two are brand names, while the last is a registered terroir. Added to these are the Château d’Ampuis cuvée and the Condrieu La Doriane. In addition to these star wines, there is the Vignes de l’Hospice cuvée—a Saint-Joseph situated on a magnificent terroir—as well as several premier plots in Hermitage from which the Ex-Voto cuvée is produced. Marcel Guigal is strongly supported by his son Philippe, who seems to be gently shifting the style of the wines, with aging practices that strike us as slightly less dominant. Needless to say, all these wines are built for long-term aging.

About the wine:

The nose is spicy with noticeable oak. The attack is full-bodied, dense, and powerful, with notes of white peach, richness, roundness, and a hint of minerality. The oak is well-integrated on the layered finish. Enticing.

About the wine:

The aroma of coffee beans from new oak is very prominent right from the start, but there are also notes of apricots and ripe melon. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it is wonderfully silky on the palate. The finish is very long, with notes of vanilla, coffee, and warm stones.

Rated "Recommended"

About the wine:

The 2022 Condrieu La Doriane is slightly more reserved and reticent than previous vintages, offering a superb aroma of orange blossom, honeyed flowers, and subtle spicy and mineral notes. Aged for nine months in new oak barrels, it is medium-bodied to full-bodied, with a concentrated and elegant palate and remarkable depth on the mid-palate. It will be at its best in a year or two and will drink beautifully through 2032.
