Reviewed March 2024The 2022 Condrieu La Doriane is slightly more reserved and reticent compared to past vintages, offering a terrific perfume of orange blossom, honeyed flowers, and subtle spicy, mineral nuances. Aged nine months in new barrels, it's medium to full-bodied, has a focused, elegant mouthfeel, and terrific mid-palate depth. It will be better in a year or two and drink beautifully through 2032.

The fabulous 2022 Condrieu La Doriane unfurls with pronounced quince, apricot, vanilla, yellow apple, lemon peel and cedar aromatics. Spring blossom and melon nuances add more layers. Juicy and layered, there’s terrific inner energy and balance within this outstanding 2022. It is neither fat nor heavy, but instead totally fresh and refined, finishing with stone fruit and floral-driven persistence. (NG)

The coffee bean note from new oak is quite prominent in the first moment, but there's also a stack of apricots and ripe melon there. Rich, full-bodied and concentrated, with a wonderful silkiness on the expansive palate. The finish is very long with notes of vanilla, coffee and hot stones. Drink from release.

Wine Spectator
Oaky, with butter and toast gilding a warm layer of apple, melon and spice notes on a broad frame. Shows savory threads of salt, smoke, fennel seed and crushed rock that line the formidable finish. A well-crafted version, with nice polish and pedigree. Drink now through 2028.
