Coteaux du Layon 1964 Touchais

Professionele reviews

BOW (8)

Richard Kelley MW: Very deep appearance. Orange/copper/gold, moving to green at the rim. Still very clean
on the nose, showing great complexity: caramel/toffee/coffee/chocolate. All this, but still very understated. There are some apple and Calvados notes behind.

The palate is really
lovely. Taut and focused. This is still incredibly youthful, with a positive phenolic grip. It
builds well to a persistent finish. More toffee notes to the finish. The raised acidity to the finish just aids the overall impression of the wine. The 1964 rightly claims its place as the vintage of the decade.
