While the 2020 Condrieu la Doriane matured entirely in new oak, there's just a hint of toast on the nose. The rest of the bouquet features a kaleidoscopic swirl of floral and spice notes with melon and white peach. Medium to full-bodied, it's exquisitely expansive and silky in texture, yet it remains refreshing on the lengthy, mouthwatering 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 2018 Condrieu la Doriane was barrel fermented in 100% new oak. Yes, it's toasty as a result, but it's loaded with grilled stone fruit and doesn't seem overdone, just rich, plush, full-bodied and long on the powerful finish. It's another top-notch effort from the appellation's leading (volume) producer.
