June 27, 2018 - Moulin Touchais: A retrospective tasing conducted by Frederik Wilbrenninck and Richard Kelley MW; 6/26/2018-6/27/2018 (The Institute of Masters of Wine, London SW11): ‘This is a massive surprise to me’ says Richard Kelly MW, 'as the wine is usually only released at 10 years old.' The estate is very protective of young vintages. Estate manager Frederick Wilbrenninck added, ‘it’s a mistake it is here today’.
Very little frost here in 2016, 5% at most compared to the northern Anjou sector which saw 25-35% of the harvest affected.
Lots of sweetness in the mouth, tense acids, firm backbone, mellows in the finish. Flavours of golden peach and tangerine with a slight green plum sourness. Lovely length and freshness. This has good potential. See you again in 2026 I hope.
