Wine Spectator – James Molesworth recommended Bordeaux 2022

Château Coutet Barsac 2022: 95/100
Ripe, unctuous and deliciously rendered, this pumps out orange blossom, peach, apricot and pineapple upside-down cake notes that are seamlessly stitched with bitter almond and orange threads. Offers a long, seductively glazed finish. Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. Drink now through 2045. 5,400 cases made.

Château Coutet Bordeaux White Opalie 2022: 91/100
Lively and fresh, with a mix of pineapple, white peach and Meyer lemon notes lined with verbena and tarragon. Shows nice purity. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2027. 580 cases made.
