100 points Jeb Dunnuck (Wine Advocate): "The finest Condrieu I’ve ever tasted is unquestionably the 2010 Condrieu la Doriane. Possessing over the top richness and depth, as well as phenomenal purity and elegance, it offers to-die-for notes of white flowers, apricots, liquid rocks, caramelized citrus and toasted bread. Full-bodied, layered, multi-dimensional and with blockbuster length, Viognier just doesn’t get any better. (12/30/16)"
98 points Robert Parker: "Perhaps the finest example of this cuvee Guigal has yet made, the 2010 Condrieu La Doriane flirts with perfection. Profoundly intense with abundant notes reminiscent of caramelized oranges, lychee nuts, apricots, spring flowers and a liqueur of wet rocks, this superb, full-bodied, rich Condrieu possesses slightly higher acids than the 2009. (12/22/11)"
97 points Jeb Dunnuck (Rhone Report): "Representing the essence of Viognier and as grand an example of this variety as I’ve had, the 2010 E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane is thrilling stuff that boasts brilliantly pure aromas of white peach, lychee, and apricot styled fruits that are interwoven with notions of white flowers, liquid mineral, and hints of herbs. Powerful, intense, and yet still incredibly light and elegant, this full-bodied Condrieu has lively acidity, a rich, full texture, and fantastic length. Given the acidity, balance, and concentration here, I have no doubt it will continue to shine for 5 or more years, however, it’s a monumental drink right now, and I see no reason to hold off. (6/23/12)"
96 points Matt Walls (Decanter): "Rich, full-bodied, more open on the nose than the 2019 tasted alongside it. Such intensity and concentration on the palate, it's loud, proud and drives long into the finish. Still has robust aromatic oak influence, but it's integrated with the fruit, and the whole is impressive. Very full, slick and polished but has the acidity, freshness and salinity to pull it off. This will be a bit too much for some, particularly the overt oak element, but it's impossible not to feel a strong reaction - a huge wine. Drinking Window: 2021-2030. (5/15/21)"
