Wine Spectator – The Big Chill

Château Coutet 2017 : 95/100

This is youthfully packed, with a green tea accent wrapping up a dense core  of creamed pineapple, yellow apple chutney, candied pink grapefruit and quince flavors. The long finish is viscous but bright, gilded liberally with ravishing singed almond and hazelnut notes. Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. Best from 2022 through 2045. 2,000 cases made.
