Château Coutet 2023: 98+/100One of the highlights of the vintage, the 2023 Coutet is exquisite, revealing aromas of pear, white peach, beeswax, pineapple and ripe apricot intertwined with spices and flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and concentrated yet without heaviness, it is fleshy and generous, built around an enveloping, vibrant core of fruit framed by […]

Château Coutet 2023 : 97/100Le bouquet est vivant, éthéré, comme en suspension, floral et porté par la sève. Le vin fond en bouche, long, se déployant de l’avant à l’arrière du palais comme un voyage sans fin. Des notes de pierre à fusil, de miel et un fruit succulent composent un ensemble ravissant. Ella Lister

Château Coutet 2023 : 97/100This delivers a frank, inviting and beautifully pure burst of pineapple in both gelée and sorbet form, holding center stage while orange blossom, elderflower, jasmine and green almond notes swirl around. Packed and dense but fresh and crackling with energy as everything spills through the lengthy finish with focus and clarity. […]

Château Coutet 2023: 97/100Bright and lively, great tang with a subtle sweetness – more focused on citrus juice, orang rind, a touch of pineapple and some vanilla bean. Round, great persistency and just general zing without being too much of any one thing. Lovely precision, finesse and drinkability. An electric 2023. Georgie Hindle

Finally, the Sauternes. You might assume that Yquem would have come up trumps, but on this occasion, its neighbour Suduiraut shone brightly. The Yquem was just behind, with creditable performances from the Lafaurie-Peyraguey, Coutet, Doisy-Védrines and Rieussec   Opalie 2022: 91/100The 2022 Opalie certainly has one of the better aromatics, quite complex with touches of […]

Château Coutet 2023 : 17/20 (94/100)Couleur dorée. Nez intense, fruité, suave et complexe. Fond frais d’amandes fraîches à l’agitation du verre. Minutieux à l’attaque, juteux en milieu de bouche, avec de la classe dans le toucher, le vin fond sur le palais, long et séveux. C’est très bon. 2027 – 2055 Jean-Marc Quarin

Château Coutet 2023: 97/100Exceptional nose of white pepper, dried peaches and dried mushrooms with sweet, exuberant undertones. The palate is medium- to full-bodied and lusciously sweet, lifted by bright acidity that carries the wine to a balanced finish. Not cloying at all. 95% semillon, 4% sauvignon blanc and 1% muscadelle. Already great, but will improve […]

Château Coutet 2023: 96/100Coutet is delivering exceptional wines year after year, and this is right up there as one as the best of the 2023 vintage. Love the twist of acidity that runs right through the grated ginger and white peach, totally delicious, lingering and sleek, with fennel, anis, grilled pineapple, dried mango and saffron. […]

Château Coutet 2023 : 95/100Anyone fond of orange candy will find it hard to resist Château Coutet 2023. Supported by bright acidity and finely judged botrytis character, the sweetness seems to lose its weight, turning into a marshmallow gently suspended overhead. On first contact, the texture is rich and nectar-like, like a drop of floral […]

Cuvée Opalie de Château Coutet 2023 : 91/100 Opalie de Château Coutet : Au début réductif, il a besoin d’air ; des notes d’agrumes, de pamplemousse, une minéralité calcaire ; droit, précis, tendu, avec une acidité vive et un fruit délicat. Il gagne en ampleur sur le milieu de bouche, reste vertical et résonne agréablement […]

Château Coutet 2023: 94/100The 2023 Coutet has a fresh an quite saline bouquet with yellow plum, sea spray and quince scents that unfold with time. The palate is well balanced with a very harmonious and mellifluous opening, a killer line of Coutet’s signature acidity that imparts superb mineralité on the finish. Wonderful. Neal Martin

Château Coutet (Barsac) 2023: 96/100The blend of Coutet is 95% Semillon, wth 4% Sauvignon Blanc and 1% Muscadelle. A glorious Barsac nose combining sweet white peach, confit orange peel and apricots, with seams of crushed chalk and a fresh matchstick minerality which shows more on the first sample than the second. The palate is charming, […]

Château Coutet 2023 : 98/10095% Sémillon, 4% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% MuscadelleLa fraîcheur calcaire pose le décor et signale son rôle de leader de manière décidée avec des arguments difficilement contestables ! Ainsi, les nuances crayeuses s’allient à des parfums de fruits à noyau et des nuances terreuses (céleri, radis) puis une touche de zeste d’agrumes. […]
