Moulin Touchais is an iconic producer of the classic Loire Valley sweet wine, Coteaux du Layon. Slightly less rich and sweet than other dessert wines, it is produced from Chenin Blanc and typically contains between 70-80g of residual sugar. These wines truly come into their own after several decades in bottle and this 1996 is a complex mature wine with aromas of orange marmalade, bruised apples and honey. Good acidity on the palate with added flavours of ripe pears and stone fruit. It would pair superlatively with Tarte Normande.
90 Vinous
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. Rebecca Gibb1st April 2021
