E. Guigal Condrieu 2023
Condrieu
August 27, 2026 - E. Guigal Condrieu is one of the world’s most exotic and distinctive wines, celebrated for its intense aromatics of apricots, white peach, and citrus, complemented by a luscious, almost umami-rich body.

Today, Guigal is the leading producer in Condrieu, ensuring a continuous supply of this rare wine, with its signature wild and floral aromas that are like no other white wine in the world.
