Vin de France (anciennement Jurançon) Jardins de Babylone Didier Dagueneau 2008
The wine
Petit Manseng’s small berries have an incredibly high concentration of sugar and acidity, lending this Jurançon superb aromatic complexity and wonderful freshness. The vines are planted on clay and quartz slopes. After harvest, the wines are meticulously sorted before being raised in oak for one year.
