In the glass
Aroma: peach blossom, apricot, white flowers, ginger, honeysuckle
Palate: rich apricot, peach compote, creamy texture, light oak spice, long aromatic finish
Guigal's top single-vineyard Condrieu from the Coteau de Condrieu plots. Rich, opulent Viognier at its most decadent with exceptional concentration.
What it pairs with
-
Pan-seared foie gras
The wine's richness and apricot notes are the classic match for foie gras. -
Langoustine bisque
The floral and stone-fruit character elevates a creamy shellfish bisque. -
Roast white asparagus with hollandaise
Viognier's stone fruit and creaminess are a textbook white asparagus pairing.
History
La Doriane was first produced in 1994 as a selection of Guigal's finest Condrieu terroirs. Named by Marcel Guigal, it represents the house's most ambitious single-vineyard white wine.
