FEATURES

The 2017 Didier Dagueneau Jurançon Moelleux Jardins de Babylone is a sweet white wine from the Southwest of France, crafted with the Petit Manseng grape. The Dagueneau estate, now run by Didier's son Louis-Benjamin and daughter Charlotte, continues its legacy of producing highly collectible and age-worthy wines with extreme commitment to quality and terroir. This particular wine is known for its thick, liqueur-like texture, pronounced sweetness, and a vibrant streak of acidity that brings brightness. Expect notes of orange peels, honeysuckle, pineapple, and other tropical fruits, with flavors of tangerine and Grand Marnier, finishing with spice and nuts. 【Crafted from Petit Manseng in Jurançon, showcasing the Dagueneau family's biodynamic commitment and exceptional age-worthiness】. While specific community tasting notes for the 2017 vintage are not widely available, the wine is generally celebrated for its purity and precision. Food Pairing: This sweet wine pairs wonderfully with desserts, especially those featuring tropical fruits or citrus. Consider crème brûlée, fruit tarts, or even foie gras for a classic pairing. Its richness can also stand up to blue cheeses. Event Suggestions: Perfect for a celebratory dessert course at a sophisticated dinner party, a special anniversary, or as a luxurious apéritif to mark a significant occasion. It's also an excellent choice for a contemplative evening, savored slowly.

BACKGROUND

The late Didier Dagueneau, famous for his Pouilly-Fumé, also established a project in Jurançon, South West France. 'Les Jardins de Babylone' is a sweet wine made from Petit Manseng grown on steep terraces. It is a masterpiece of balance, offering intense sweetness with flavors of exotic fruits, honey, and truffle, perfectly countered by a brilliant, electric acidity.
