Moulin Touchais
Moulin Touchais is an icon of the Loire valley, particularly among those who have fallen in love with the region’s exceptional sweet wines made from Chenin Blanc. With a library of vintages dating back decades, they have become known for releasing back vintages in perfect condition when they feel they are ready to drink, so it is not uncommon to see 40-year-old bottles with pristine levels, labels and corks. Better yet, they are generally offered at exceedingly reasonable prices.

Vinous (90)Nineteen nighty six wasn't a legendary vintage unlike the season that would follow. The 1996 Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon, a product of a fairly warm season, it is not overtly warm in its fruit profile with some lightly botrytised spice character, plus a rose-like scent, apricots and almonds. With just 76g/L of residual sugar it's not the sweetest interpretation, but its joy is its super smooth, refined texture. Medium length. |

Vinous (95)Starting to take on a deep golden hue, the 1997 Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon is a sensuous sweet wine (92g/L of residual sugar) that offers ripe and concentrated flavors of apricot jam, cooked oranges botrytis-derived spices (60% of the fruit was affected by botrytis, a high proportion for this wine). It is intense, rich and honeyed, coating the palate with its sucrosity. There's just enough acidity here to keep things going but it does not have the vivacious refreshment of cooler years, providing a weightier, fully charged expression. The finish is lengthy and fragrant. |
