Château Coutet 2003 : 94/100The 2003 from the Baly family, from a half bottle, presents a concentrated aromatic profile reminiscent of sweet orange fruit, with smoky intensity and notes of marmalade and barley sugar. Perhaps unsurprisingly the palate presents a voluptuous and richly toasted style, with layer upon layer of grilled orange slices and praline, […]

Coutet 1953 – One of the great post-war vintages, second only to 1959 that decade, bottles were pretty common when I set out my career. But the banal fact is that many have been drunk in the last 20 years and are less frequent. A warm and clement August gave the fruit the boost it […]

Château Coutet 2022: 96/100 Mid lemon gold colour. Vibrant aromas of candied apricot and marzipan with plenty of botrytis complexity and some sweet spices from oak already.

Château Coutet 2022: 18.5/20 95% Semillon, 4% Sauvignon Blanc/Muscadelle. This is a fabulous wine with sensational delicacy and complexity, and the acid line is thrilling. The back end of this wine ends up dry and pert, and given the depth of fruit on the mid-palate and the haunting beauty on the nose, this is a […]
