Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 2005

These are PRE-ARRIVAL wines that will arrive this fall 2025.  Tariffs are included at current tariff rates but are subject to change.  If tariffs change you will have the opportunity to cancel your order should they exceed the current rates.  If they are to our benefit and are passed on savings we will pass them on to you.   During WWII German’s occupation of the City of Doué, Joseph Touchais, who took over the family estate in 1930, decided to brick their labyrinth of cellars to protect the mountains of vintage stock buried deep in the estate’s cave. After the war ended, when reopening the tunnels, he realized that the wines had aged tremendously well. Since this time, they made themselves famous for the late releases of their Chenin Blanc wines, which demands cellaring for at least 10 years before a bottle is made available to the market. Their 35 hectares planted exclusively with Chenin Blanc are harvested in 3-5 picks. The 1st pick is for acidity; the other picks are for maturity.
