TN: Dinner Last Week (Boillot, Morot, Moulin Touchais)

**1976 Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon - France, Loire Valley, Anjou, Coteaux du Layon

Jim, thanks for the tasting note. I have the 1976, 1959, and 1949. Even some of this wine from the 1920s is reported to still be very good. It can age extremely slowly in some of the best years. At one time it was one of he best quality wine values of the Loire, but fame has now resulted in increased prices. It is remarkable how many good years this wine has had. I think a top Vouvray such as Huet's Cuvee Constance 1989 can top the Moulin considerably, but there are very few years that produce such good sweet Vouvrays.
