Tasting Notes

95
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 29 Mar 19
With coaxing, the pale lemon colored 2016 Coutet slowly unfurls to give a myriad of preserved lemons, pineapple pastry, almond croissant, fresh ginger and lime blossoms scents with nuances of chalk dust, white pepper, star anise and cedar. Rich, seductive and yet exquisitely balanced, the satiny-textured palate has layer upon layer of citrus and savory notions, finishing very long and spicy.

Vinous Neal Martin - 16 Apr 26
The 2016 Coutet has a more backward nose: dried honey, almond, marmalade coming through with time, just a light lanolin aroma. The palate is well balanced, with a viscous opening. Fine depth, the acidity well judged, although it just needs a little more complexity and personality towards the finish. What you might call a "solid" Sauternes. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Tasted blind. Fresh and opulent with doused-pear aromas and a little sour plum on the end. (JR)

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
