Château Coutet 2022: 94/100Lots of dried-apricot and peach aromas with hints of dried white mushrooms and flowers.

Drink or Hold. James Suckling

Château Coutet 2022: 99/10096% Sémillon, 4% Sauvignon BlancCoutet 2022 est d’une authenticité et d’une clarté improbable. Et j’oublie la profondeur. En fait, ce Coutet, on ne le voit pas venir.

Château Coutet 2022: Avec ses réserves hydriques, le terroir calcaire de Barsac est parfaitement adapté aux grands millésimes chauds.
