Coutet
Originally a fort, the Chateau Coutet began producing Sauternes in 1643. The estate is free from any chemicals and makes use of the newest green technology. Their forward thinking approach does much for the health of the vines. Their Cuvee Madame is one of Bordeaux’s richest sweet wines.

Wine Advocate (92)Tasted single blind against its peers. This has a very floral, exuberant bouquet with white peach and grapefruit soaring from the glass. It is very pure and vivacious. The palate is harmonious with what feels like more sucrosity than on previous occasions. It is not viscous in texture, suggesting high acidity to slice through all that sweetness (a typical Coutet trait, as it turns out.) The finish displays touches of ginger and dried orange rind that linger nicely in the mouth, although the general impression is that it needs several years to “calm down.” Tasted January 2012. |
