2020 Chateau Coutet Premier Cru Classe, Barsac 6x75cl

Chateau Coutet

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 93

Drink To: 2027-2048

Aromatically complex and lusciously concentrated, Château Coutet creates dreamy wines that are imbued with aromas of white blossom, citrus, honey and vanilla. Its unique positioning between the Garonne River, Atlantic Ocean and Landes Forest has resulted in an unusual microclimate that sees persistent morning mists and afternoon warmth which helps with the spread of Botrytis to deliver the wines potent sweetness. Cultivated within beds laden with clay and limestone, the coolness of the soil, matched with a one-of-a-kind microclimate has seen the production of a lively, youthful wine. Planted with Semillon (c.75%), Sauvignon Blanc (c.23%) and Muscadelle (c.2%), this trusted blend displays Coutet as a staple for sweet wine lovers everywhere.

Neal Martin

The 2020 Coutet has a promising nose with dried honey, nectarine, Clementine and saffron scents, though it doesn't quite have the complexity of the best Sauternes. The palate is well balanced with a tangy opening, fine depth and better acidity than others in this flight. Marmalade and quince tones emerge toward the finish as this lingers nicely in the mouth. Very fine. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Tasted blind. Much more complex on the nose than the Guiraud. Bitter orange and marzipan, oily spice. Bitter orange adds freshness but it could still do with a little more acidity. (JH)
