Note di degustazione
The flamboyant 2019 Condrieu La Doriane is on point. Expressive apricot, ripe peach, rose water, honeysuckle, melon, pineapple, vanilla and brioche are front and center. Full-bodied and concentrated, it transparently displays the characteristic 2019 ripeness yet maintains its balance. It closes with nuanced Bourbon vanilla tones on the lingering finish.

Fermented and matured in new barrels, the 2019 Condrieu la Doriane nevertheless reveals effusive floral aromas on the nose, backed by notes of toast, lime and apricot. This medium to full-bodied effort shows exquisite balance and structure, finishing silky and long. It's one of the rare Condrieus that may be able to age well for a decade.
The 2019 Condrieu La Doriane is another tremendous effort from this estate that does everything right. Reminding me slightly of the 2015 with its power and richness, it still has plenty of freshness in its apricot, ripe pineapple, honeyed marmalade, flowers, and cream aromas and flavors. Already complex and full-bodied, with good acidity and a fabulous finish, this is a quintessential expression of this cuvée and it’s hard to imagine how it would be any better. These always have the capacity to age, yet I find them most enjoyable with 6-12 months of bottle age and then over the following 3-5 years.
100% Viognier. Tank sample. Subtle whiff of smoke and anise with white flowers and lemon balm. Full and rich on the palate and then comes the flintiness and very integrated oak char. Weighty finish and I like the suggestion of nuttiness on the structured finish. (AC)
