James Suckling

Barsac with dried-apple, apricot and spice character. The botrytis comes through with a healthy and clean nature to it. Medium-bodied and medium-sweet with a spicy finish.

Jean-Marc Quarin

Golden colour. Intense, fruity nose. Hints of iodine and oyster shell. Magical on the palate, melting in the middle, the wine evolves in a complex, savoury way towards a fine finish with a subtle touch. Composition: 95% Semillon, 4% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Muscadelle. Alcohol content: 13.5° - pH: 3.66. Residual sugar: 165 gr/l. Yield: 6 hl/ha.

Colour

A shimmering sunny yellow.

Nose

Lots of freshness and plurality in this bouquet, with classic aromas of plum, mirabelle plums and limes, followed by notes of saffron and tangerine cest, coated with chalky notes typical of its terroir.

Palate

Smooth and tangy entry into the mouth. The wine is creamy, dense and perfectly balanced. An exceptional wine with a lingering finish, with superb aging potential.

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.

Packaging

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.
