Chateau Coutet, located in the Barsac appellation of Bordeaux, is renowned for its exceptional sweet wines. As a Premier Cru Classé in the 1855 classification, Chateau Coutet produces wines primarily from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes. The growing season showcases the classic characteristics of Barsac wines, with a rich and luscious texture balanced by vibrant acidity. The wine undergoes fermentation and aging in oak barrels, which imparts subtle vanilla and spice notes. On the palate, it offers flavors of ripe apricot, honey, and citrus, with a long, elegant finish. This wine pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, or fruit-based desserts.

The 2014 Coutet has a lovely bouquet with scents of dried honey, apricot and a touch of quince.

Powered by intense botrytis, this wine is opulent and ripe, with spice, yellow fruit and honey flavors. It has just the right balance of acidity to maintain its shape and proportions. It's likely to age well over many years. Drink from 2024.
