"Classic in style, this exuberant, perfumed Viognier fills the air with aromas of orange blossom, peach and honey. While weighty and textured, it's lifted by a vein of tangerine acidity and lingering notes of bitter nut skins and vanilla. This lovely wine should drink well through 2027. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Falstaff" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane" from the vintage 2017 on 01.07.2019 with 95 of 100 points.
"Hochreife Aprikose, brenzlig-mineralische Noten, Kokosnuss, druckvoller Gaumen, festes Säuregerüst, stoffige Gaumenmitte, deutliche Holzprägung im Nachhall, hohe Dichte, kräftiger Alkohol, ein mächtiger Wein mit Wucht und Schmelz, aber auch mit Tiefe und Länge. Sehr lange würzig und taktil-mineralsich nachhallend. Braucht ein paar Jahre Reife, und dann eine kulinarische Marriage erster Kategorie (z.B. Hummer)."

"(Viognier) Kräftiges Gelb, schöner Glanz. Offene, Nase, deutlich Holz, dahinter Gräser, weisse Blüten, Kastanienhonig, reife tropische Früchte, Mandeln und Quitten, sehr gute Komplexität. Sehr vollmundiger Auftakt, reife Frucht, sehr tiefe Säure, ungemein voluminös, cremig und ausladend, die Honig- und Mandelnoten wiederholen sich, komplex aber nicht überfordernd, sehr langer Abgang. Insgesamt wenig elegant aber mit eindrücklicher Fülle. Jetzt bis 2025, 18.5 vvPunkte (93/100)"
yr. 2015 Wine Enthusiast:
94 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane" from the vintage 2015 on 01.01.2017 with 94 of 100 points.
"Guigal's flagship Condrieu is always flashy, fleshy and opulent, and the 2015 is no slouch in those areas. Hints of toast and vanilla accent apricot-laden fruit, while subtle spice shadings linger on the long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now-2020."
yr. 2012 Wine Enthusiast:
94 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane" from the vintage 2012 on 01.01.2015 with 94 of 100 points.
"This seems a tad more restrained than usual for La Doriane, which has typically been extremely lush and exotic in the past. The 2012 isn't as over the top, but still shows plenty of ripe apricot and tropical fruit framed by smoky oak and baking spices. The finish is long and mouthwatering, suggesting at least a few years of longevity."
yr. 2010 Wine Enthusiast:
94 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane" from the vintage 2010 on 01.01.2014 with 94 of 100 points.
"Despite being barrel fermented and matured, this Condrieu retains a remarkable amount of varietal character in its flamboyantly floral and spicy aromas. It's full bodied, broad and richly textured, yet avoids any sense of heaviness, finishing on hints of honey and white pepper. Drink now-2020."
yr. 2011 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane" from the vintage 2011 on 01.01.2014 with 91 of 100 points.
"Less flamboyant than the 2010, this is still an excellent wine. It's full bodied, rich and broad on the palate, delivering layers of honeyed apricot and citrus that finish warm, with a hint of caramel. Drink it over the next couple of years."
yr. 2008 Wine Enthusiast:
93 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane" from the vintage 2008 on 01.01.2011 with 93 of 100 points.
"Guigal's luxury cuvée from Condrieu is a great success in 2008, marrying richness and power with hints of honeysuckle, toasted nuts and apricot. It's full bodied, creamy in texture and tremendously long on the finish. Drink now-2016, and possibly beyond."
yr. 2007 Wine Enthusiast:
93 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2010 with 93 of 100 points.
"Guigal's luxury cuvée from Condrieu is a blend of vineyards, all vinified and agfed for eight months in new oak. The result is a big, spicy, rich wine, graced with smoky nuances but built on concentrated honey and apricots. It's long and powerful on the finish, ending with impressive spice. Drink now-2015."
yr. 2000 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane" from the vintage 2000 on 01.01.2002 with 92 of 100 points.
"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."
yr. 2013 VertdeVin:
93 of 100 Points.
"VertdeVin" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane" from the vintage 2013 with 93 of 100 points.
"The nose is elegant, fruity and precise. It reveals notes of orange and white peach combined with a touch of lemon as well as small notes of white flowers. The palate is elegant, fine, fat, round and offers a slight note of minerality. On the palate this wine expresses notes of nectarine and melon associated with slight notes of citrus as well as slight notes of minerality. Good length."

"Andreas Larsson - Tasted" has rated the wine "E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane" from the vintage 2017 with 92 of 100 points.
"Light golden colour. Intense and youthful nose with some roasted notes, floral with ripe apricot, yellow plum and jasmin. Dense and bold palate, voluminous with unctuous stone fruit, some roasted oaky notes, a rather mild acidity but still balanced by fine extract and vivid fruit on the finish. Good grip, density and a long persistency."
