Golden and opulent, the 1997 Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon layers lush stone and tropical fruit with tones of orange peel, honey and sweet spice, gliding across the palate with deep sweetness that’s balanced by just enough lift. This is a fuller, more luxuriant expression of Moulin Touchais, finishing very long and scented, with a softly glowing richness that lingers.

Moulin Touchais’ Coteaux du Layon is a long‑lived, nobly sweet Chenin Blanc from the schist and limestone slopes along the Layon in the Loire, built on a rare mix of early‑picked grapes for vivid acidity and very late‑harvested, often botrytised fruit for richness. Aged a full decade in bottle before release, it typically marries honeyed, marmalade and nutty complexity with chalky minerality and remarkable freshness, offering one of the world’s great traditional dessert‑wine experiences at relatively modest prices.
