The 2015 Coutet was much more backward and reticent than its peers despite coaxing. Conversely, the palate is just singing with very concentrated, unctuous honeyed fruit and a superb line of acidity. It fills the mouth with luscious Barsac. It is just the aromatics that seem to be saying you will have to wait several years... Anticipated maturity: 2022 - 2055
94-96 Neal Martin – The Wine Advocate Issue #224 – erobertparker.com (April 2016)
The 2015 Coutet comes with 153 grams per liter of residual sugar at 13.8% alcohol. It has a fragrant bouquet with acacia honey, citrus scents and a touch of melted butter, all very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive purity, those limestone soils imparting the acidity that defined this Barsac, and lending great precision and tension on the live-wire finish. This is a wonderful Coutet that feels energetic - a compressed spring coil that will drink earlier than the likes of Climens or de Fargues, but has the DNA to age gracefully over 25-30 years. Drink: 2019-2050.

A Coutet with great depth and fruit. So much dried tropical fruit character, bright acidity and fruit sweetness. Vivid and clean.
18/20 Jancis Robinson – jancisrobinson.com (April 2016)
Looks very substantial in the glass. Floral nose. Massive weight. This tastes very ripe indeed and with considerable botrytis influence. Quite a dramatic statement! Though the finish is surprisingly dry and appetising. Drink: 2028-2050.
94-97 James Molesworth - Wine Spectator – winespectator.com (Maart 2016)
Vibrant, with a singed almond frame sprinting along, this offers nectarine, white peach and star fruit notes. Mirabelle plum and pineapple details echo through the finish. Very long, boasting terrific range.
92 Ian d’Agata - Decanter Magazine – decanter.com (April 2016)
Very rich, deep aromas of lemon verbena, peach, cinnamon; enticing. Rich, dense and suave palate, with a honeyed richness to the spicy, fresh citrus and apple jelly flavours. A large-scaled Coutet showcasing a hint of passerillage (dried grapes). Outstanding, but I prefer the 2014. Drink: 2020-2035.

Showing the elegance and lightness of touch that is the hallmark of this château’s sweet wines, this is refreshing yet effortlessly concentrated, with white flowers and peaches on the nose, subtle cinnamon oak, plenty of mid-palate weight and tangy acidity. Just as impressive as the 2014. Drink: 2019-2030. CoutetCoutet is een 1er Cru Classé in Barsac met een lange geschiedenis. Ooit waren de de Lur Saluces van Yquem eigenaar, maar sinds 1977 staat de familie Baly aan het roer. Het terroir nabij de Ciron bestaat uit kalkrots en ijzeroxyde. De recente millésimes zijn prachtig gemaakt. Coutet brengt superieure wijnen en herinnert ons dat Sauternes niet te onderschatten is en -eigenlijk- niet duur is gezien de geleverde inspanningen. |
