E. Guigal’s Condrieu 2019 is a Northern Rhône white from the small Condrieu appellation, where Viognier is the required grape. Guigal positions this bottling within its “Collection” range, and in 2019 the house style comes through clearly: ripe fruit, floral lift, and a polished, crowd-pleasing texture.

The strongest endorsement is Jeb Dunnuck’s 95-point review—an excellent score for the category. Dunnuck calls it “stunning stuff,” praising a “beautiful bouquet of ripe nectarines, orange blossom, honeysuckle, and exotic flowers,” and sums it up as “just classic Condrieu in every way.” He highlights “remarkable purity” alongside “a fleshy opulence,” and a “great, clean finish,” adding that anyone wanting a “textbook Condrieu can’t go wrong with this.” On drinking window, Dunnuck suggests it “should keep for 7–8 years,” though he personally prefers these wines in their first “4–5 years.”

Wine Enthusiast (93 points) gives useful technical detail, noting it was “fermented and matured in one-third new oak.” Anna Lee C. Iijima describes “candied grapefruit peel, lilac and apricot,” with oak framed as “smoky, spicy, vanilla-cream richness” balanced by “pristine tangerine and white-peach flavors,” finishing with “an invigorating lift of tangerine acidity.” She expects it to “gain honeyed nuances through 2030,” while also calling it “delicious young.”

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (92 points) emphasizes aromatic intensity—“effusive floral aromas”—and a more sculpted fruit profile: “precise, chiseled notes of apricot and pineapple,” plus “a silky texture” and “hints of ginger and white pepper on the lengthy finish.”

Vinous (91 points) reads the vintage as warm, calling the wine “sexy and flamboyant,” with “punchy apricot, melon, pineapple and white peach.” It notes the “elevated fruit ripeness” but says “everything is in perfect harmony,” making this an unabashedly generous, hedonistic Condrieu.
