93 Vinous
The 2011 Coutet comes across a little one-dimensional on the nose, with honeysuckle and quince, but missing some complexity. The palate is well balanced with a gorgeous texture, fine acidity, very pure and harmonious with quince and touches of peach towards the poised finish. Superb. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

Mittleres Gelb, lindengrüne Nuancen darin, leuchtend. Intensives, süsses Bouquet, viel Rosinen, frische Kamillen, Mirabellen, Akazienhonig, mittlerer Druck, weil die Botrytis momentan nicht ganz so ausgeprägt ist. Saftiger Gaumen, wirkt eher weich und die Säure mag den reichen Körper irgendwie (noch?) nicht ganz auszubalancieren. Von der Vinifikation her wunderschön, aber mag er dann auch mit den vergleichbaren Konkurrenten in seiner Reife mit halten? In der Hoffnung dass er dies schafft: warten (2015 - 2065)

Château Coutet
Recognized as one of the finest wines in its appellation, Château Coutet was classed as a First Growth in 1855. One of the oldest estates in the Sauternes region, Coutet has an outstanding terroir and architectural heritage. Its origins date back to the late 13th or early 14th century, as evidenced by a tower similar in style to those built at forts during the English occupation of Aquitaine. Château Coutet belonged to the de Lur Saluces family for over a century and is currently owned and managed by Philippe and Dominique Baly, with technical and commercial assistance from Baron Philippe de Rothschild S.A., who have exclusive distribution rights. The name Coutet comes from the Gascon word for couteau, or knife, in reference to the wine's fresh, vibrant acidity and unique crispness. When young, Château Coutet has aromas of white flowers, citrus, honey, and vanilla. With age, the botrytis character comes through in a deep, delicate bouquet with hints of spice and candied fruit.
