Decanter – Best Sauternes & Barsac 2019 wines tasted en primeur

Château Coutet 2019 : 97/100

Intense exotic fruits abound, powerful apricot, nectarine, white flowers and white truffles with excellent bitter almonds on the finish that works so well as a counterpoint to the luxurious texture. I love this, silky and seductive yet strict. Philippe Dhalluin of Mouton does the blend here since 2009 along with the family.
