Domaine DIDIER DAGUENEAU "Les Jardins de Babylone" Moelleux 2016 - Magnum 1.5L
Wine Region: South-West - France
Grape: Petit Manseng
Tasting notes: 2016 offers us a Babylone Moelleux of very high quality. Exotic fruits sparkle in the glass from the first nose with the vibrant scents of mango, apricot and roasted pineapple. The infusion notes bring a very nice freshness with verbena and linden. This aromatic development continues unceasingly in interminable complexity. In the mouth, there is no heaviness in spite of the immense substance. The body is ultra-tasty and persistent.
