The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Maison Guigal is the pinnacle of French viticulture today…a fantastic success story coupled with a tremendous human adventure that truly does it all: from producing large volumes with unwavering quality and regularity to delivering amazing parcel-based wines.

Whether it is for its parcel-based wines or its lieux-dits, the level remains extremely high, with careful attention paid to every detail. The estate's signature Condrieu La Doriane is undoubtedly one of the stars of the appellation, if not the best white wine of the Northern Rhône Valley.
Wine The 2021 white Condrieu La Doriane is a cult wine. Rich, aromatic, with floral notes of viognier, a nice fatness and a good tension, this wine benefits from a perfectly adjusted maturation. It is undoubtedly one of the greatest wines of the Northern Rhône, certainly one of the most beautiful wonders of Condrieu to date. This new vintage, both fine and suave, with a masterly balance, confirms the regularity of the Cru, which is simply unstoppable!
Vinification Hand harvested, vinified and aged exclusively in small new oak barrels for about 8 months, malolactic fermentation carried out.
