Château Coutet 2022: 94/100Orange, lemon, lime, honey, caramel with an almost candy floss scent. Smooth and so satisfying on the palate, a lovely buttery element alongside signature bitterness. Complex and compelling, really thick and glossy but enjoyable. Georgie Hindle

Château Coutet : 94/100Couleur jaune, aux reflets verts. Nez très aromatique, fruité, frais, sentant bon le citron vert et une touche de vanille. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, parfumé au milieu, avec de la classe dans le toucher et un goût fin, le vin fond en finale, savoureux, épicé dans la persistance. C’est délicat et […]

Château Coutet 2022: 94/100Lots of dried-apricot and peach aromas with hints of dried white mushrooms and flowers. Medium-to-full-bodied, this has lots of sweetness but a spicy flint and citrus character with dried pineapple and white peaches. Extremely long and flavorful. Such a balance and classiness to this. 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. Il ne prévient pas, il émerge de l’on ne sait où, hors-mis qu’il est de Barsac pour se poser avec une certaine autorité, presque aristocratique, […]

Den Hintergrund bildet ein Sud von Hagebutte, Vanille und Vanille-Essig, die Birnen sind leicht oxidativ zubereitet, un das Toffee-Aroma setzt Hartwig gerne ein, weil es ihn an seine […]

Château Coutet 2022: Avec ses réserves hydriques, le terroir calcaire de Barsac est parfaitement adapté aux grands millésimes chauds. L’abricot et la figue embaument le 2022 qui associe une belle sucrosité à la droiture de l’acidité du calcaire, l’ensemble est d’une grande élégance dans un style un peu plus riche que d’habitude.
