Wow. Fabulous focus and intensity to this wine with energetic sweetness and long, linear quality through the center palate. Orange-peel, lemon and peach undertones. Fresh finish. Drink or hold.
95 Robert Parker
The 2017 Coutet has a super intense nose of ripe apricots, honey-coated nuts, warm pineapple and mango with touches of nutmeg and orange blossoms. Rich, sweet and unctuous, it has wonderful intensity and depth, finishing with fantastic length<br/>
95 Wine Spectator
This is youthfully packed, with a green tea accent wrapping up a dense core of creamed pineapple, yellow apple chutney, candied pink grapefruit and quince flavors. The long finish is viscous but bright, gilded liberally with ravishing singed almond and hazelnut notes. Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. Best from 2022 through 2045. 2,000 cases made. — JM

Producer
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.
