AMA – Bordeaux 2018 Tasting report – Left Bank
15 September 2021
Château Coutet 2018: 95/100 Coutet 2018 is the most lucid among the entire tasting set; despite 18 months of oak aging, every fragrance is still crystal clear.

3 September 2021
Château Coutet 2018 : 98/100 Il possède de la sève et la profondeur grâce à une liqueur abondante, mais pondérée par la force du sol de Barsac qui donne de l’éclat au fruit. Quel équilibre ! Quelle matière en bouche ! Somptueux. Roberto Pétronio

TerroirSense – Fresh off the Bottling Line: A Look at the 2018 Bordeaux Wines Available Now
2 July 2021
2018 Château Coutet: 97/100 There was not much botrytis in 2018 but plenty of ripening sun! And so, for the most part, wines speak more of air-dried grapes than they do of the smoky complexity induced by noble rot. There was just one masterpiece: the glorious Château Coutet. Luscious on entry, with myriad scents of […]
