Coutet is one of the great Barsac estates, a Premier Grand Cru Classé that consistently makes wine of real finesse rather than just sweetness. The 2013 is an outstanding vintage for Coutet, with wine writers noting its complex aromatics, mineral tension and extraordinary balance. This is Sauternes at its most precise and it will cellar for many years yet.
"The 2013 Coutet has one of the most complex aromatics you will find this year - a smorgasbord of citrus fruit, lime zest, orange blossom and white peach that is beautifully interwoven with compelling mineralite. The palate is extremely well-balanced, very intense and linear right from the start, with wonderful tension toward the finish that exhibits just a hint of spice. In other words, this is everything you expect from a great Coutet." (93-95) points, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, April 2014
The classic match is foie gras, but it is also superb with blue cheese or a fruit tart.
- A serious gift
