Fine Wine Guide – Best of Bordeaux 2025

Château Coutet 2026 : 96-97/100
97% Sémillon,2% Sauvignon Blanc, and 1% Muscadelle. An enchanting bouquet of remarkable clarity and freshness, in a way distinctly mineral-driven, with freshly grated citrus peel, preserved lemons and cedro or Amalfi lemon, Young mirabelles, ripe mango, and pear, complemented by wonderfully sweet spices, saffron threads, and mandarin sorbet.

Last year’ winner among the sweet wines nevertheless retains perfect balance thanks to its magnificent freshness(…)
