Description


Château Coutet is a historic wine estate located in Barsac, Bordeaux, known for producing exceptional sweet wines. Established in the 13th century and classified as a Premier Cru Classé in 1855, it is one of the oldest and most esteemed vineyards in the Sauternes and Barsac regions. The 38.5-hectare vineyard benefits from a unique clay and limestone terroir ideal for growing Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes. The estate, managed by the Baly family since 1977, employs meticulous hand-harvesting and traditional winemaking techniques to create its renowned wines, including the flagship Château Coutet and the second wine, Chartreuse de Coutet. Known for their rich, complex flavors and remarkable aging potential, Château Coutet wines are celebrated for their balance of sweetness and acidity, making them a staple of Bordeaux's prestigious wine offerings.

This shows the vivid, racy side of Barsac, with streaming flavors of pineapple, yellow apple, green plum and white ginger, displaying lovely energy from start to finish. Ends with enough honeysuckle and orange blossom notes to balance the richness. Best from 2020 through 2035. 4,000 cases made.
