Château Coutet 2022: 93-95/100 The terroir advantage of Barsac shines through in the hot 2022 vintage, with such a delicate mouthfeel that is rarely seen throughout the Sauternes region. The pure and abundant fruit aromas interweave into a rich and full-bodied melody, with notes of peach and orange marmalade as the leading roles. When swirling […]

Château Coutet 2022: 94-96/100 This is 75% Semillon, 23% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle, and the residual sugar is a heady 158 g/l. This is immediately more serious on the nose, with crushed blood orange, minerals, white pepper and white peach. While the nose is vivacious, the palate is fresh and pure, with a finely […]

Château Coutet 2022 : 94/100 Le vin est parfaitement équilibré, entre liqueur et acidité. Le nez sort des sentiers battus car l’agrume s’efface au profit des notes de gelée de fruits blancs, de poire au sirop, de verveine, de fleurs d’acacia et de citron confit. La finale sur le kumquat et le gingembre twiste l’ensemble. […]

Château Coutet 2022 : 95/100 Light golden yellow, silver reflections. Gooseberries, limes and honey blossom, fresh bouquet. Juicy, elegant, white peach, integrated sweetness, pleasant freshness, yellow tropical fruit on the finish, remains long latsing, harmonious overall picture. Peter Moser

Château Coutet 2022: 98/100Intense yellow colour with green-golden hue. Sophisticated nose with intense aroma reminiscent of ripe pineapple, candied lemon peel, sweet apricots and hints of tangerine zest, honey-loaden blossoms. On the palate rich sweetness balanced by fine acidity and distinct minerality, wonderful taste quoting the nose, excellent depth and length. A great wine.   […]

Opalie de Château Coutet 2022 : 94/100 Structured dry white with clear slate character, saffran and white pear, savoury and mouthwatering, good stuff, with grip and personality. Harvest 25 and 26 August, after a year when only 72mm of rain fell in this part of Bordeaux from the end of April until the harvest, making […]

Château Coutet 2022 : 94/100Un vin qui a beaucoup de densité, sur le bonbon de miel et le bulbe de safran. On apprécie le subtil regain de fraicheur en finale apporté par de jolis amers. Opalie de Château Coutet 2022 : 95/100Frais et vif, à l’aromatique subtile et pourtant très intense, sur des notes iodées, […]

Château Coutet 2022: 94-96/100 Flowers, pineapples, mango, apricot and candied lemon notes get the wine going. The palate, with its layers of sweet, ripe and overripe, honeyed yellow, and orange fruits is fresh, long, intense, balanced, and most importantly, delicious! And isn’t that the purpose of a wine?
