Condrieu, La Doriane--Vintage 1997
Rhône, Guigal
"The single-vineyard Condrieu La Doriane has become one of the three or four finest wines of the appellation. Made from a 4.5 acre parcel, this offering is spectacular in 1997. The 1997 Condrieu La Doriane achieved nearly 14 natural alcohol. Aged in 50 new oak and 50 stainless steel tanks, the wine is put through a complete malolactic fermentation, giving it a creamy, unctuous texture, a trait especially evident in the 1997. While dry, the wine possesses a fabulous nose of tropical fruits intermixed with floral scents and an underlying minerality. Intensely aromatic, spicy, and super-rich, this sensational La Doriane is the finest Guigal has produced from this hillside vineyard overlooking the famous Condrieu hotel/restaurant, Beau-Rivage." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #121 (February 1999)
