Château Coutet 2003 : 95/100   From a half bottle. This heatwave vintage produced some excellent sweet wines, and this is a fine example of what could be done in this challenging year. It presents a very rich, burnished, orange-golden hue in the glass, and it has a similarly enticing nose, one filled with the […]

Château Coutet 2016: Apricots and grilled white peaches rise from the glass and set the stage for flavors of honey, lemon verbena, candied ginger, and loads of white spice alongside orange marmalade and freshly cut pineapples. Nice acidity to balance the sweetness, too. This is excellent already and has a long future ahead—the finish lasts […]

Château Coutet 2017 : 19/20   Derrière une pointe de réduction, son parfum s’exprime sur des notes de zestes d’agrumes.

Château Coutet 2016 : 19,5/20   Un nez d’ananas rôti assorti d’une petite touche de cake au fruit. Ce nez ample précède un fruit plein en bouche, mais vivant, à la richesse raffinée. Il est charnu, mais sans lourdeur : la finale reste très traçante.   Olivier Poels

2005 Chateau Coutet – 93/100   The 2005 Chateau Coutet opens with orange marmalade and butterscotch that mingles with shades of clove and cinnamon on the nose. There is a marvelous seamless quality that runs through the wine. Vanilla creme brulee, butterscotch and shades of roasted pineapple with stony minerals all enter the palate and […]

Château Coutet 2015 : 95/100   The 2015 Coutet is a little reduced on the nose and lacks the flair of some of its peers. Pinched at the moment – maybe going through a sulky phase? The palate is well balanced and very harmonious, viscous in texture with perfectly matched acidity and fine delineation and […]
