Château Coutet 2019: 95/100 The 2019 Coutet has a very intense bouquet of wild honey, saffron, dried pineapple chunks and a touch of cold, wet stones, all imbued with palpable joie-de-vivre.

Château Coutet 2019: 95/100Medium deep golden colour. Pure and intense perfume of saffron, earl grey, ripe apricot, honey and pastry.
