Louis-Benjamin – Didier Dagueneau Jurancon Les Jardins de Babylone Sec white 2021

Les Jardins de Babylone Sec 2021 illustrates Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau’s vision applied to the great terroirs of Jurançon. This confidential cuvée reveals a particularly pure, taut interpretation of dry Petit Manseng. Produced in minute quantities on steep, ideally-exposed slopes, it benefits from expert work in both vineyard and cellar. The 2021 vintage stands out for its natural freshness, remarkable balance and aromatic depth. Both powerful and precise, this wine develops a unique personality that places it among France’s finest gourmet whites. Rare and sought-after, it will appeal to lovers of wines of emotion and ageing potential.
