Château Coutet 2019 : 17,5/20 Cloudy. Bitter-orange citrus notes on the nose and palate. Extremely pure, the fruit and texture suave and gourmand. Zesty and long at the same time with a tangy, botrytised note on the finish. Lovely weight and balance. James Lawther
Vinous – Uncertain Smile, Bordeaux 2019
16 June 2020
Château Coutet 2019 : 94-96/100 The 2019 Coutet has a luscious bouquet with scents of dried honey, honeysuckle and orange pith, intense and well defined. The palate is built around Coutet’s trademark line of acidity, an underlying zestiness cutting through the unctuous honeyed fruit with a welcome orange rind and marmalade note on the persistent […]

11 June 2020
Château Coutet 2019 : 95-97/100 Poire, exotique, fruits blancs et floral magnifique. Beau rôti, de la tension, de la mâche, de la longueur également et une finale fraîche et aérienne. Agrumes, gingembre confit. Un Coutet très séduisant et identitaire. Yohan Castaing

Terre de Vin – Bordeaux Primeur, La classe 2019
10 June 2020
Château Coutet 2019 : 95/100 Nez sur les zestes d’agrumes, d’orange, où se détache la fraîcheur de notes mentholées, verveine. La bouche est d’une généreuse magnificence, sur une attaque marquée par l’ananas. Le vin donne la mesure de son ampleur, avec de la chair, de la rondeur et une liqueur enrobante sur l’abricot sec. Une […]

Appellations Ten – Château Coutet’s liquid gold
28 May 2020
This is a story of treasure. This treasure is a bit unconventional because it’s available to all. If I said “gold”, the pulse tends to quicken. So yes, “gold”! It’s not the element gold. It’s liquid gold! The alchemist surely paused, safekeeping the recipe, when he or she discovered their “first cut” tasted so good! […]
