2002 Moulin Touchais

One of Moulin Touchais’ more elegant renditions finishing wonderfully deep and fresh with an almost refined feel.

The wines of Moulin Touchais begin reaching their peak after twenty years, and many of the great vintages will take much longer. Vintages such as the 1953, 1959, 1964, 1969 are still maturing. The 1945, 1947 and 1949 have become classics. Moulin Touchais are the only winemakers in the world who give a century long guarantee on the longevity of their wines (subject to being kept under optimal cellar conditions). Bottles may show some sediment or deposit. One should understand this is due to the traditional filtration process, the main aim being to protect the colour, the bouquet and the depth of flavour of the wine.
Looking decidedly more youthful than the 2009 vintage, the 2002 features a bright yellow straw core with gold tinged edges and a pale straw hue. Springing from the glass are fresh spicy pear, bees wax and ripe peach aromas which mix with flashes of lemon butter, honeyed quince and cinnamon. Rich and lusciously textured yet showing remarkable freshness, this is one of Moulin Touchais’ more elegant renditions. Honeyed peach and quince fruits are featured over notions of dried pineapple, apricot and delicate cinnamon spice. Beautifully balanced it finishes wonderfully deep and fresh with an almost refined feel.
Drink over the next 30 years plus.
