Varietal

Viognier

Although primarily associated with the Rhone region of France, the precise origins of the Viognier grape variety are unknown, and the subject of much debate. However, these fine and delicate green skinned grapes are an important varietal for many of France's most elegant white wines, and they are quickly beginning to spread around the New World, too, where wineries are discovering their unique qualities and unusual character. Viognier grapes are notoriously difficult to grow, due to the fact they are highly susceptible to mildew, but wineries persevere with them nonetheless, producing wines which are highly aromatic and have a great, fruit-forward character. Their delicate aroma suggests sweetness due to its flowery, sappy nature, but the wine itself generally very dry and crisp, and full of summery, light and refined qualities.

Region

Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Appellation

Condrieu

Condrieu, a prized appellation in France's Rhône Valley, is celebrated for its luscious Viognier wines. Its defining features stem from the terroir: steep slopes of granite soil by the Rhône River. Condrieu Viogniers boast intense aromas of white flowers, apricot, and peach, with a hint of spice, complemented by a full-bodied texture and refreshing acidity. Rigorous regulations ensure the quality and authenticity of these wines, reflecting the terroir's essence and winemakers' expertise. Condrieu serves as a global standard for exceptional Viognier, offering a luxurious tasting experience that invites wine enthusiasts to appreciate its unique character and the artistry behind each bottle.

Jeb Dunnuck

The classic 2022 Condrieu is outstanding, with quintessential aromatics of fresh apricots, honeyed flowers, and a kiss of background, classy oak. Brought up in one-third new barrels, it's medium to full-bodied, has a balanced, elegant mouthfeel, and a vibrant sense of freshness. I love it and would drink bottles any time over the coming 4-6 years.

Wine Advocate

Mainly crafted from purchased grapes, the 2022 Condrieu from Guigal is always a delicate, elegant rendition of this appellation. Evoking aromas of ripe apricots, honeysuckle, pear and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, round and sappy with a seamless, enveloping texture, concluding in a long, delicate and ethereal finish enhanced by gastronomic bitterness. Consistently well-crafted, this Condrieu is engaging and quintessential to its origin.

James Suckling

A juicy, dense and aromatic Condrieu. The nose reveals notes of baked lemons, white peaches and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied with a dense core of white fruit and cooked lemons. Caressing texture, with a well-rounded, mellow and agreeable finish. Drink now.

Vinous Media

The 2022 Condrieu is adorable. Ripe apricot, white peach, melon, spring blossom and yellow apple give this medium- to full-bodied Condieu tons of character. Toe to toe with the equally delicious 2020 rendition, the 2022 Condrieu combines great energy and juicy ripe fruits with soft yet refreshing acidity.
