Merchant Reviews THOUGHTS ON CHATEAU COUTET FROM THE STAFF AT THE WINE HOUSE
94 Points"This has a relatively simple but crisp nose with dried honey, apricot, quince and a touch of almond. The palate is well balanced with good acidity and botrytis, pure, quite linear with white peach, pear, a touch of mandarin and citrus acidity cutting through its viscous texture towards the finish. It improves the more it remains in the mouth, the nose seeming to absorb energy, the palate becoming ever more 'pixilated'. This is another intellectual Sauternes that should age beautifully." -- Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate, April 1, 2010

Expert Reviews
Full medium gold. Pineapple, orange, toffee, nutty oak and a whiff of spun sugar on the enticing nose. Sweet but youthful and tangy, with lively acidity and underlying minerality giving an incisive quality to the bright core of pineapple and apricot fruit. At once rich and sharply focused, finishing with excellent length and verve. This should evolve slowly.
