Red Wine: 2021 | E. Guigal | Condrieu La Doriane

Appears remarkably balanced on the nose in terms of oak – it doesn’t dominate. Full-bodied, rich, opulent, but with a good sense of aromatic freshness. Powerful on the palate, with balanced alcohol and a gentle saline hint.

Appears remarkably balanced on the nose in terms of oak – it doesn’t dominate. Full-bodied, rich, opulent, but with a good sense of aromatic freshness. Powerful on the palate, with balanced alcohol and a gentle saline hint. The finish is long and not dried out from the oak, it stays succulent, silky, juicy and mandarin-infused. All parcels fermented separately in new oak, then blended.

Producer Information

E. Guigal is one of the most notable wine producers in the Rhne Valley. It was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in Ampuis where the headquarters remain to this day on the western banks of the Rhne river, a stone’s throw from the famous sun-roasted slopes of the Cte Rtie, and Guigal’s flagship wines, the famous “LaLa”s: La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque.Guigal has a long history of winegrowing, and today the company hold plots throughout the nothern and southern Rhne and produces wines from classic northern Rhne and Mediterranean varieties including Grenache, Mourvdre, Viognier and Roussanne, although the focus has always been on Syrah and the Cte Rtie.The company’s sizeable holdings include the likes of Saint-Joseph, Hermitage, Gigondas, Condrieu and Chteauneuf-du-Pape, and wines are made from each, often labeled simply by their appellation title a format that runs into the more affordable Ctes du Rhne range (which can be found in red, white and ros form).
