A true time capsule from the Loire, these 1980s vintages from Moulin Touchais are legendary for their balance of vibrant acidity and natural sweetness. Made from late-harvest Chenin Blanc, with a portion picked earlier for freshness, the wines are aged for decades in the cellar before release. Expect notes of candied citrus, dried apricot, honey, and subtle spice, all carried by a lively structure that keeps it fresh, not cloying. Rare, elegant, and astonishingly youthful—even after 40 years. Perfect with cheese, pâté, or just quiet contemplation.

Winemaker

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.
