Condrieu, La Doriane--Vintage 1994
Rhône, Guigal
"1994 is the debut vintage of La Doriane and 10,000 bottles of this exquisite Condrieu were produced. The vines average 15 years of age. Guigal fermented half of the wine in barrel and half in tank and then blended. The wine reveals a stunning degree of richness, intensity, and complexity. Extremely full-bodied, with an unctuous texture, considerable complexity and finesse, it displays no evidence of barrel fermentation in its huge nose of honeyed apricots, peaches, and floral scents. Layers of concentration are buttressed by enough acidity to give freshness and delineation to the wine's copious fruit components. It is an exquisite, rich Condrieu that gets my nod as one of the finest dry Condrieus of the vintage, rivaling those great wines produced by Yves Cuilleron, Georges Vernay, and Andre Perret. . ." Robert Parker, Rhone Book (1997)
