Château COUTET
1er grand cru classé

Administered by the Rothschilds (Mouton) since 1996, Coutet has joined the leading pack of the biggest Sauternes after Yquem. Like Climens, it is a true Barsac, pure and remarkably subtle, but with a more marked liquor. Since 2005, Coutet has been in great shape! In a rare feat, the exceptional 2020 vintage came top (ahead of Yquem) in the Revue du Vin de France's ranking of Sauternes 2020 « un sommet de pureté, de précoce harmonie, de naturel ! ».

The 2020 vintage is rated 98/100 by La Revue du Vin de France, and ranked first among the Sauternes 2020 « Coutet 2020 is very racy from the outset, even though it gives pride of place to fresh fruit in this vintage with little botrytis. Tonic from start to finish, it hides the opulence of its liqueur behind this obvious fruit. A summit of purity, precocious harmony and naturalness! » (September 2023)
