Château COUTET
1er grand cru classé
- 2019
- Barsac
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!
The 2019 and 2020 vintages are in our Tasting Offer this season.
« D'une grande pureté aromatique avec son parfum éclatant, Coutet 2019 sent le citron confit. La bouche est allée puiser sa force dans le calcaire du terroir qui lui insuffle sa grande vitalité. Un vin ciselé malgré sa richesse. Magistral. » Rated 99/100.

Rated 93/100 by N. MARTIN «The 2020 Coutet has intense bouquet with dried honey, saffron, dandelion and light crushed stone aromas, nicely focused and fairly complex. Quintessential Coutet. The palate is very well balanced with a decent thread of acidity, taut and fresh, not as powerful as Doisy-Daëne yet with admirable tension on the ginger-tinged finish. Very fine.» (December 2022)

Rated 97/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « Il dégage un joli parfum entre une note pâtissière, d’abricot et de mandarine. Malgré une liqueur plus modérée de quelques grammes de sucre en moins que les années précédentes, il garde une belle douceur à l’attaque de bouche. Mais rapidement il s’affirme par la force tonique et minérale du sol de Barsac, par son intensité vivifiante avec de jolis amers aux notes de zestes d’agrumes en finale » (June 2021)

The 2019 vintage is rated 95/100 by Neal Martin « The taut, fresh palate is underpinned by a silver bead of acidity (always one of this Barsac's leitmotifs), offering clementine, peach and nectarine toward the persistent finish. A joy. » (Feb. 2022)
Rated 93/100 by M. Quarin «Gras à l'attaque, le vin se développe suave et savoureux, avec des nuances complexes dans la persistance, sur un fond de fruits blancs bien mûrs.» (Février 2022)
