Tasting Notes

The 2022 Coutet has a clean and precise bouquet with scents of white peach, apricot blossom, quince and saffron. It unfolds wonderfully in the glass but maintains a sense of control. The palate is very well balanced, with ample weight counterbalanced by a keen thread of acidity. There is a naturalness to this Coutet that I really appreciate. This is very fine.

Score: 94 Neal Martin, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2027-2047 Date: 12 February 2025

Low yields but well expressed juiciness here, along with luscious texture of apricot, citrus, pineapple, sage, mint leaf, liqourice, really impressive complexity and depth of flavour, kick of slate minerality on finish. An upscore from En Primeur - more proof that Barsac is the place to look in this vintage. Harvest September 26 to October 28

The 2022 Coutet delivers nuances of pineapple, tangerine oil, orange confit and spice. Exotic and unctuous, it's also light on its feet for such an obviously rich wine. There's great balance here.

Score: 95 Antonio Galloni, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2027-2052 Date: 28 January 2025

Tempting dried fruit here with spice and floral character. Full and creamy with attractive acidity and a textural finish.
