Menu
The nose is elegant and expressive, featuring notes of ripe blackberries, red forest fruits, and subtle hints of violet flowers. Complementary aromas of thyme, white pepper, and cedar add depth and complexity.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a firm structure. It showcases flavors of black cherry, plum, and blackberry, balanced by a fine minerality and a touch of toasted oak. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and harmonious mouthfeel.
The finish is long and refined, with lingering notes of black fruit and a subtle saline touch, leaving a lasting impression of freshness and elegance.
A First Classified Growth of 1855 in the Barsac appellation, Château Coutet is a must-have for those passionate about the great wines of Bordeaux. Difficult weather at the beginning of the year and especially in April, punctuated by a devastating frost, tested the abilities of this great property. Thanks to the vineyard team, who stayed up for several nights to guard the fires protecting the vines from frost, about 50% of the vineyard was saved. The meticulous work and mild weather of the months that followed made it possible to create a very beautiful wine indeed.
The Château Coutet 2017 is extremely pleasant. The aromatic complexity on the nose is dominated by citrus (lemon in particular) and complemented by floral notes, confirmed on the palate as both lively and generous, achieving the signature balance of great Barsac wines. This wine is smooth on the palate and stays remarkably fresh. The finish of this Château Coutet 2017 is superb, with a very significant aromatic persistence.
