Decanter
Doria is a real ray of sunshine in the glass, with its straw-yellow color and silvery highlights, and its aromas of ripe yellow fruits and milk caramel. Spices and infusion notes add to the aromatic complexity. The attack is sweet and suave, with lots of subdued roundness. It develops notes of honey, lemon and roasted hazelnuts.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 90/100 (Vintage 2019)
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Marrenon is one of France's leading cooperatives. It brings together 9 caves, no fewer than 7,600 hectares of vines and has been putting over 85% of the Luberon's annual production under glass for 40 years. A feat of quality, as evidenced by a highly diverse and comprehensive range. Deliciously fruity wines, without forgetting their terroir of origin.
