    Producer

    The Domaine Guigal vineyard stretches across the steep slopes of the Rhône Valley, where the vines are cultivated in clay-limestone soils, ideal for viticulture. This region benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, promoting optimal grape ripening. The vines, some several decades old, are cultivated with deep respect for the terroir, allowing the unique characteristics of each vintage to fully express themselves.

    Owner and history

    Domaine Guigal is currently managed by the Guigal family, who proudly carry on the legacy of Étienne Guigal. Passionate about their craft, the owners have successfully combined tradition and innovation to maintain the estate's renowned reputation. They are committed to respecting the environment and producing superior wines that reflect the authenticity of their terroirs. This family passion is evident in every bottle, a testament to their unique expertise and constant pursuit of excellence.

    Vinification and aging

    The Condrieu La Doriane 2018 is crafted with meticulous care. The carefully selected grapes are gently pressed to preserve their integrity. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, where the wine rests on its lees, developing aromatic complexity and a silky texture. Extended aging in barrels further refines the wine, while imparting subtle woody notes. This traditional method, combined with time-honored expertise, results in an exceptional, rich, and elegant wine.
