Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 2004 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Loire
R810
‘Lemon and lime cordial, yellow grapefruit confit. Plenty of lifted melon fruit aromatics. Fine boned, sleek texture, very elegant with spiced apple purée, lemon marmalade and pithy, chalky finish.’ - Greg Sherwood MW, 93+/100
‘Polished. Mid-pale. Yellow with distinct green hints. Faintly reductive nose, with non-fruit aromas. Tight and mineral. The palate is tightly restrained. More reduction. Backward and ‘old fashioned’ in style. Touch of wet wool. Nicely textured on entry but appears almost dry due to the firm mineral and reductive style. Well structured, if a little monotone. One to keep locked up in the cellar.’ - Richard Kelley MW

| Producer information | One of the world’s largest and oldest wine stocks can be found at Moulin Touchais, established in 1787, on the banks of the Layon River in the Loire Valley. Comprising of about 2 million bottles dating back to the mid-19th century, Moulin Touchais guarantees its customers a century of longevity. The estate is renowned for a sweet Chenin aged for a minimum of 10 years in their seemingly endless cellars. The longevity and complexity of their wines is linked to a harvesting strategy where they pick at various stages for freshness and concentration and then bottle early – between 6-8 months after harvest. |
