Along with a few vintages of Vernay’s Coteaux du Vernon, the 2015 Condrieu La Doriane is one of the greatest Condrieu ever made. Deep, powerful and thrillingly concentrated, with a huge nose of apricot jam, marmalade, flower oils, and crushed rocks, it hits the palate with a huge texture that somehow stays light, graceful and weightless, and the wine has remarkable freshness, purity and cut. It’s a singular, monumental Condrieu every reader should taste. 99 points. - Jeb Dunnuck
Easily one of the greatest Condrieu I’ve ever tasted is the 2015 Condrieu La Doriane. A wine that needs to be tasted to be believed, it possesses a huge nose of toasted brioche, liquid rocks, apricot, flower oil and salty minerality. Unctuous, full-bodied, massively rich, yet also elegant and graceful, with beautiful freshness...tour de force. 99 points. - Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
Lush, with papaya, mango and ginger notes layered seamlessly, while hints of heather honey, anise and piecrust hang in the background. The long and rich finish has no choice but to let the fruit power on. All hedonism and thoroughly delicious. - JM, Wine Spectator
Brilliant yellow-gold. Powerful orange, nectarine and honeydew aromas are complemented by suave oral, vanilla and chalky mineral accents. Supple and expansive in the mouth, oering deeply concentrated, smoke-tinged poached pear and peach nectar avors that pick up honey and iodine qualities as the wine opens up. Lush and seamless but surprisingly energetic in style, showing superb closing thrust and lingering suggestions of buttery brioche and candied pit fruits. -- Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media
