E. Guigal
Land with 24 centuries of history behind it worked and preserved by three generations of winemakers with family values at their core and a commitment to an illustrious terrain that produces prestigious wines. This in a nutshell is the Maison Guigal. Right from the beginning the motto “No Pains No Gains” underpins the promise made to Etienne Guigal. A commitment to work together to follow in his footsteps to communicate the family’s passion and create so many emotions. Today Marcel and Philippe along with their wives are the guardians of this exceptional domain which combines history devotion and a sense of togetherness. A breath of inspiration for generations to come.
Description
"Slightly more forward and flamboyant than the more classically structured 2016, the 2017 Condrieu la Doriane is full-bodied, plush and opulent, loaded with flowers, melons and apricots. Yes, the oak is noticeable, but it adds a relatively restrained note of toasted almonds, serving to focus and lift the waves of succulent fruit. I'd drink this silky-textured beauty over the next few years, while it's still as showy as can be." WA
Food Pairing
