The white wine Condrieu AOC La Doriane, vintage 2017 from the winery E. Guigal has been rated in 2019 by Ulrich Sautter with 94+ Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Viognier
Highly ripe apricot, flinty mineral notes, coconut, powery palate, firm acidity, sturdy mid palate, distinct wood imprint on the finish, high density and alcohol, a powerful wine with power and texture, but also with depth and length. Very long spicy and tactile-mineral aftertaste. Needs a few years of ageing, and then a first class gastronomic pairing (e.g. lobster).
More about the tastingLight golden yellow, silver reflections. Fine nuances of vanilla and nougat caramel, ripe yellow peach, apricot and honeydew melon underlay, but also floral notes, multi-faceted bouquet. Juicy, very powerful, pronounced fruit, silky texture, underlaid with ripe tropical fruit, very precise and tight-knit, fine acidity structure, mineral touch, delicately nutty on the finish. Great length, secure development potential.
