Winemaker Notes

The 2023 vintage in Condrieu delivered wines of remarkable charm and immediate appeal. Despite a challenging growing season marked by early mildew pressure and summer heatwaves, the appellation benefitted from well-timed September rains that revitalized the vines and preserved freshness. The resulting wines are beautifully expressive, showcasing Viognier’s signature floral aromatics, ripe stone fruit, and a vibrant mineral edge. With their elegance, balance, and purity of fruit, the 2023 Condrieus are a standout vintage for early enjoyment, offering both finesse and accessibility.

Blend: 100% Viognier

Professional Ratings

98 Jeb Dunnuck

The killer 2023 Condrieu La Doriane boasts gorgeous orange blossom, honeyed flowers, toasted spice, and grilled peach aromatics that build incrementally with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, focused, and pure, this brilliant effort spent 9 months in 100% new French oak and represents the crème de la crème of the vintage.

97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2023 Condrieu la Doriane is one of the high points of the range, unfurling in the glass with notes of citrus zest, toasted nuts, smoke, almonds and ripe orchard fruits. Full-bodied, satiny and multidimensional, it’s concentrated and layered, with a dense and complex core of fruit, concluding with a resonant, perfumed and endless finish. It delivers even more controlled power than the 2022, supported by a vibrant acid line that extends the finale.

95 James Suckling

How can you resist the fresh honeycomb, honeysuckle and toasted brioche aromas and controlled extravagance of this high-end Condrieu? Rich stone fruit aromas on the expansive, medium- to full-bodied palate, where the freshness of the vintage deftly lifts the long, generous finish.

94 Vinous
Matured for 9 months in 100% new French oak, the 2023 Condrieu La Doriane takes off with toasty subtleties, mingling pristine white peach, apricot and jasmine with a touch of honeysuckle. Packing elevated flavor concentration on the dense palate, the 2023 is an outgoing, articulate La Doriane. Round and complex, it walks off the stage with a touch of lemon flesh and wet stone on the long, nuanced finish.
94 Wine Spectator

Rich, decadent and toasty, with flattering notes of salty brioche on a concentrated, denseframe that’s still tightly wound. A modern style, withbitter blood orange acidity cleaning up the long, broadfinish with a hidden core of power.
