Château Coutet, located in Barsac within the Sauternes appellation, is one of the oldest wine estates in Bordeaux, tracing its history back to the 13th century. Designated a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it is celebrated for producing exceptional botrytized sweet white wines. The estate’s vineyard features clay-limestone soils rich in minerals, which impart a distinct freshness, striking acidity, and crisp elegance that balance its intense sweetness. Predominantly planted with Sémillon alongside Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, Château Coutet yields complex wines filled with aromas of white flowers, citrus, honey, and roasted nuts. Known for incredible aging potential, it stands as a landmark icon of fine noble-rot wines.

The Chateau Coutet 2010 was a beauty from barrel with its payload of 154gms of residual sugar and sure enough, after a year in bottle it is one of the most compelling sweet wines in the vintage. It shows immense clarity on the nose, with the oak still a little prominent at the moment, but it will integrate with bottle age. The palate is well-balanced with a fine line of acidity. There is an engaging sense of tension here, real drive and mineralite towards the finish, like a cousin of Doisy-Daene but with a little more bravura. There is a sense of purpose about this 2010 Sauternes, with a persistent finish that keeps you coming back for more. Bravo! Drink 2020-2030

The 2010 Coutet demanded some coaxing like the 2009, eventually offering sensual aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine and quince, although I feel the 2009 has a greater presence. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, fresh and focused with commendable weight. There is a deft touch of spice here and superb tension on the finish - a quintessential Coutet. Tasted from an ex-château bottle served at the estate. (Drink between 2021-2045)
