Moulin Touchais

About Moulin Touchais

Moulin Touchais is a historic winery located in the Anjou region of the Loire Valley. Founded in 1787, the estate has been family-run for over eight generations, maintaining a tradition of producing a high-quality sweet Chenin Blanc wine under the Coteaux du Layon appellation. The wine is made from late-harvested grapes, which are picked in two stages: the first harvest captures the acidity, and the second harvest, conducted weeks later, ensures the sweetness from the naturally shriveled grapes. This meticulous process gives the wine a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, capable of aging gracefully for decades.

The legacy of Moulin Touchais lies not only in its exceptional wine but also in its unique approach to aging and release. Unlike most wineries, Moulin Touchais releases its wines only after a minimum of ten years of aging in their cellars. This patient approach allows the wines to develop complex flavors and aromas, showcasing the full potential of Chenin Blanc. The estate's commitment to quality and tradition has earned it a revered status among wine enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Each vintage of Moulin Touchais offers a distinctive expression of the terroir and the meticulous craftsmanship that has been honed over centuries.

Why We Love Moulin Touchais

We love Moulin Touchais for its unparalleled ability to offer a taste of history with its vast collection of old vintages, thanks to the 1 million bottles aging in their cellars. This unique feature allows wine enthusiasts to celebrate special moments with a vintage from their birth year, creating a personal connection to the winery's legacy. We imported 32 vintages back to 1964! These sweet wines offer a complex, well-developed flavor profile that highlights the full potential of Chenin Blanc.
