27 avril 2018

Château Coutet 2017 : 18,5-19/20 Un Travail de titan à la vigne, suite aux intempéries, a porté ses fruits pour ce Barsac de haute volée.

Château Coutet 2017 Barrel Sample (Barsac); 95-97 points. This wine shows great balance and poised elegance.

8 novembre 2017

Ch Coutet 2015 – 18/20 Quite dense and spicy without being that sweet. Lots of density and extremely difficult to spit! Long and creditable. Good tanginess too. You could drink this already but that would probably be foolish. Lots of grip.

10 septembre 2017

Château Coutet 2011 – 96 points Well balanced, this gorgeously ripe wine is packed full of fresh yellow fruits, ripe oranges and lemon. The fruit counterpoints the generous, dense structure that offers the dry core of botrytis. Acidity gives a line of freshness at the end.
