2017 Didier Dagueneau Les Jardins de Babylone: Jurançon Elegance

The 2017 Didier Dagueneau Les Jardins de Babylone Jurançon Moelleux Blanc 750ml is an artisanal sweet wine of extraordinary tension and purity.

In addition, the classic 2017 vintage allowed the grapes to achieve profound noble sweetness balanced by searing natural acidity.

Tasting Notes for 2017 Didier Dagueneau Les Jardins de Babylone

The wine opens with dazzling aromas of candied citrus, ripe mango, apricot paste, honeycomb, and white ginger. Furthermore, complex notes of lemon verbena, beeswax, and crushed mountain stone evolve with aeration. On the palate, a luscious, honeyed texture is immediately balanced by a laser-like spine of acidity. Consequently, the finish lingers with extraordinary freshness, vibrant tropical fruit, and stony persistence.
