The Wine Advocte – Château Coutet 2020 & Opalie 2020
30 July 2021
Château Coutet 2020: 94-96+ The 2020 Coutet has a pale lemon-gold color, waltzing out of the glass with energetic notes of lemon tart, pink grapefruit, green mango and lime blossoms, with hints of chopped almonds, cover honey, candle wax and straw, plus a waft of see spray. The palate is class, featuring ethereal intensity and […]
Tasted – En Primeurs 2020
21 July 2021
Château Coutet 2020: 95/100 Intense and pure nose with plenty of layers, good depth despite its youth. Fresh apricot, pineapple, fine toast with vanilla, fresh butter and confit de citron. The palate has great density and weight with fine extract and good oak integration, a fairly high sweetness but a classic Barsac freshness adds plenty […]

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 […]

Vert de Vin – Primeurs 2020
7 June 2021
Château Coutet 2020 : 97/100 Le nez est élégant, racé, précis, élégant, joliment marqué par son terroir et offre une certaine droiture, de la profondeur (en finesse), de la complexité. On y retrouve des notes de citron vert, de citron cristallisé et plus légèrement de minéralité associés à un joli côté racé/ciselé/tranchant, à des touches […]

Vinous – 2020 Bordeaux En Primeur: Almost Back to Normal
2 June 2021
Château Coutet 2020: 92-94/100 The 2020 Coutet is wonderfully dense and creamy from start to finish. Dried pear, marzipan, white flowers, mint and tangerine oil build in this super-expressive, deep Barsac. The 2020 has so much to offer. Antonio Galloni
