1994 Coteaux du Layon, Moulin Touchais
1994 Coteaux du Layon, Moulin Touchais
The vineyards of Coteaux du Layon are situated along the banks of the River Layon in France's Loire valley. Here, some of the finest sweet wines are produced, and exclusively from chenin blanc. Here, too, Moulin Touchais traces its roots back to 1787, sharing a long, illustrious history that accounts for the estate's breath-taking collection of historic vintages.
"Polished. Deep appearance. Complex orange/copper/gold. Very restrained nose. Very clean, 'dry' and mineral. Rich and surprisingly concentrated on entry. Chalky textured and dry, with no sign of the rot associated with the vintage. This is perhaps more universally gastronomic, since it does appear much drier, opening up endless possibilities for food pairing. There is dry, saline, almost Manzanilla quality about the wine with linear acidity. This is true Chenin. Taut and mineral. Persistent and distinctly dry to the finish. It also shows the development of some savoury notes, something that appears to develop with time on old Moulin Touchais wines. This is certainly on a plateau but can be expected to hold for years to come. The firm malic acid presence will act as a preservative. That said, it won't be for everyone."
