If you could only choose one... As a Premier Grand Cru Classé of Sauternes, Château Coutet stands out with its unique and irresistible style. Rooted in limestone, the vineyard consistently produces impeccable wines marked by remarkable freshness, a saline finish, and unique savoriness.
Rated 97/100 by Olivier Poussier, the 2023 vintage is phenomenally rich (165 g of sugar for 13.5% alcohol) yet perfectly balanced. The strength of Sémillon, the nuance of Sauvignon, and a hint of Muscadelle spice create a complex blend with flavors of candied citrus and pear, maintaining an astonishing lightness. Château Coutet is undeniably one of the lords of Barsac, alongside Château Climens, and remains a world-class essential in the category of sweet wines.
Don't miss out. Among the finest sweet wines of Bordeaux!
