Château Coutet produces sublime sweet wines, reflecting the estate's dedication to organic viticulture and traditional winemaking.
Their Sauternes-Barsac 2020 is a luscious and beautifully balanced sweet wine from Barsac, a sub-region of Sauternes known for its exceptional botrytised wines. Crafted predominantly from Sémillon, with smaller portions of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, this wine captures the richness and intensity associated with Coutet's historic estate and Barsac’s limestone terroir.
Drinking window: 2024 - 2050
What the critics say:
"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."
"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%"
"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."
