Chateau Coutet

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 94

Drink To: 2023-2040

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.

Antonio Galloni

The 2020 Coutet is much more refined and light on its feet than it was from barrel. Tangerine peel, mint, passionfruit, white flowers and a hint of marzipan all grace this airy, wonderfully refined Barsac.

Full bottle all of 1,405 g. 95% Se millon, 4% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Muscadelle. Cask sample. 18 months in oak envisaged. No information on yield. Greenish hint to the golden hue. Very classic with a botrytis note and some real freshness. Weight and integrity here with a savoury, even bacon-fat, finish. Not one of the sweetest wines, or what I probably mean is that the acidity is more pronounced than in many of its peers. Sleek and fresh. But probably for relatively early drinking.
