1980 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. Very deep appearance of copper/orange, with a hint of green to the rim. Great graduation of colour. The nose is somewhat restrained. Toffee, with a lovely freshness on entry. Very clean and pure with a great acid profile. Juicy, racy with some positive phenolic grip which only adds to the overall textural complexity of the wine. Persistent. Carried by acidity. Very good.
