Château Coutet 2007

CHF 74.00 (75cl)

Colour

A light golden yellow.

Nose

Aromas of lime and orange, followed by hints of acacia blossom.

Palate

Dense and smooth on the palate. Its incisive character counterbalances the sweetness well, creating a beautiful harmony. A wine with character. Lingering finish.

Wine-growing terroir

The terroir of Barsac, particularly at Château Coutet, is clayey-limestone, hence water retention. Cold soils slow down the ripening of grapes.

Winemaking

Manual harvest between September and November, picking only botrytized grapes, slow pressing of the grapes, alcoholic fermentation in batches in barrels, aging for 18 months before final blending of the vintage.

Bottle closure

Cork

Packaging

Wooden box

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Tasted single blind against its peers. The Chateau Coutet 2007 has a very intense bouquet with lemon curd and orange blossom mixed with clear honey. There is impressive precision here, almost crystalline. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine viscous entry, great weight and intensity with racy acidity. There is also much tension cutting through the layers of viscous fruit on the sorbet-like finish. This is a typical Coutet through and through and it should age effortlessly over 20-30 years. Neal Martin. Tasted January 2011.

Yves Beck Jaune doré clair. Agréable fraîcheur dans le bouquet de Coutet 2007 avec des notes de limes et d’oranges complétées par des nuances de fleurs d’acacia. Attaque dense et suave. Le côté incisif de la structure contrecarre bien la douceur pour finalement créer l’harmonie. Elle confère également du tempérament et de la persistance à la finale. Un Coutet harmonieux, charmant bien paré pour l’avenir. Maintenant – 2037. Avril 2017.

Wine Enthusiast The aromas are intensely sweet, full of orange marmalade and honey. The palate goes more for spice, with oranges and brown sugar allied to fresh fruits, apricots and lychees. The final flavors are delicious and enticing. Roger Voss. January 2010.

Jean-Marc Quarin Couleur jaune soutenu. Nez d'intensité moyenne, marqué par l'épice plus que par le fruit. Très belle douceur fondante en entrée de bouche. Le vin se développe très, très fruité, aromatique, sur un toucher fin et fondant. Finale de longueur normale, riche en sucres, mais rôtie et aérienne. Mars 2008.

Château Coutet

Château Coutet was recognized as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855. On the lands of Barsac, which are the coldest in the appellation, the vines had already been planted centuries before. The great history of Sauternes and Barsac has been perpetuated since 1977 with the Baly family, which produces a rich, lively wine, with aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, honey and vanilla from the very beginning of its evolution.
