The Wine

17+/20 Jancis Robinson MW '95% Sémillon, 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. 13.5% Drink 2024 – 2038'

94 Pts Jane Anson, Decanter 'Bright, yellow gold colour, with citrus, apricot, pineapple and a ton of mango fruits on the palate. Silky texture with spikes of lime juice bringing pep and definition. Saffron and white pepper add even more lift through the finish, this is excellent and easy to recommend. Drinking 2022-2050'

About the Wine Maker

Château Coutet, a Premier Cru Classé (French: First Growth) sweet wine, hails from the Sauternes-Barsac appellation in Barsac, situated in the southern region of Bordeaux's vineyards in France. As one of the oldest vineyards producing Sauternes, Château Coutet is nestled between the Garonne and Ciron rivers, enjoying a microclimate with autumn mists that are essential for the development of Botrytis cinerea. The vineyard spans 38 hectares, planted with 75% Sémillon, 23% Sauvignon Blanc, and 2% Muscadelle grape varieties.
