The single vineyard 2000 Condrieu La Doriane exhibits smoke, spice, and minerality in addition to tell-tale jammy apricot/peach/honeysuckle notes. While more backward as well as structured than the regular cuvee, it is profoundly concentrated, exotic, and rich. It should drink well for 2-4 years. Guigal produces approximately one-third of Condrieu's total production, and, not surprisingly, his offerings are generally among the top three or four of the vintage. Two-thousand was a better year for whites than reds in the northern Rhone, and that is evidenced by his two cuvees of Condrieu.
