Exceptionally hot summer and magnificent vintage, the best since 1947 ***** Michael Broadbent
A stunning example of an aged Moulin Touchais and, remarkably, probably not yet at its peak. 1959 was arguably the greatest
vintage in the Loire of the last 50 years. These wines are an international treasure, and clearly demonstrate the power and
longevity of the Chenin Blanc-based dessert wines of the Loire. Brilliant orange gold colour. Intense nose, with pronounced
oloroso, butterscotch and spice scents. Totally mouth-filling - a powerhouse of oloroso, orange rind, honey, toffee, apple, spice
and lemon. There appears no sign of middle age here, this is a very athletic wine. Very youthful crisp finish, not at all cloying.
Exceptionally long aftertaste of honeycomb, toffee, lemon and spice. A wine of great length and persistence. There is no doubt
that, like other great Moulin Touchais vintages, this wine will last for a century or more.
