AMA – Tasting Report – Bordeaux 2024 En Primeur

Château Coutet 2024: 94-96/100
Château Coutet gently refines its familiar mandarin aroma into the delicate fragrance of candied mandarin peel. Crisp lemon tart, the sweet richness of pineapple pastry, and the purity of dried apricot join in, creating a bouquet that brings effortless delight. Each breath brings joy. Acidity runs strikingly high this year, and the sugar is equally generous, yet on the palate, they meet in a balance so vivid it takes you by surprise. The success of the vintage owes much to a rare stretch of dry weather during the botrytis season. That precious window allowed Coutet 2024 to achieve exceptional purity and concentration, fully expressing the character of its clay-limestone soils.
