Coutet 2023 crackles with tension, layering juicy lemon and pineapple over apricot, dried apple and a touch of ginger and spice, all framed by vivid Barsac acidity. The sweetness feels refined rather than heavy, with botrytis-driven depth and a long, precise finish that already shows impressive class but clearly has a long future ahead.

Château Coutet is a Premier Cru Classé sweet white wine from Barsac in Bordeaux’s Sauternes-Barsac appellation, known for its distinctive “knife‑edge” freshness that cuts through opulent sweetness. Primarily based on Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc and a touch of Muscadelle, it reflects the cool, limestone-rich Barsac terroir in a style marked by lively acidity, notes of citrus, exotic fruits, honey and spice, and an ability to age gracefully for decades.
