E. Guigal 2000 La Doriane (Condrieu)

Country: France / La Doriane
Variety: Rhône-style White Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: E. Guigal / Condrieu

Unlike so many Condrieus, this is a wine that needs to be aged. From a parcel of land in the south end of the Condrieu appellation, this vintage is currently dominated by new wood. But under that, there is elegant, spicy fruit with delicious flavors of ripe pears and peaches. Just a hint of acidity gives it structure and considerable potential for aging.
