🏰 Moulin Touchais is renowned for producing high-quality sweet Chenin Blanc, typically released after a minimum of ten years of aging in their cellars. The 2004 vintage is described as a "petite millisieme" style, with approximately 10% botrytis. In drier, hotter years, there is less botrytis, leading to a higher proportion of late-harvested Chenin Blanc grapes to achieve the desired sweetness. The wine exhibits a deep golden yellow color with pronounced amber highlights. It is rich and layered, yet maintains remarkable freshness and precision due to its natural acidity. This is a classic Coteaux du Layon for those who appreciate maturity, complexity, and elegance. Tasting notes also mention a fungal nose, mushroom stalks, red apple, and a bracing acidity that promises decades of life. It offers honeyed orchard fruits and lanolin complexity. 【An iconic, age-worthy sweet Chenin Blanc from a producer renowned for releasing wines with significant cellar age】. 🍴 This luscious sweet wine is a delightful pairing for classic desserts such as cannelés bordelais, rhubarb-and-ginger pop-tarts, or tarte tatin.
