Overview
Very ripe exotic fruits (such as mango), beeswax and small, dried fruits, with lots of elegance.
TASTING NOTES
Very ripe exotic fruits (such as mango), beeswax and small, dried fruits, with lots of elegance. On the palate, the wine is supple and sweet, revealing a clean and pointed botrytisation, mingling the sweetness of small candied fruits with the fresh minerality of the terroir. The gustatory expression rapidly evolves onto aromatic characters of candied apricot, slightly caramelized notes and well-integrated spices into a few notes of honey lingering for a pleasant length. This vintage is balanced with a wide range of aromatic nuances.
DESCRIPTION
Owned and operated by the Baly family since 1977, Bordeaux’s Château Coutet derives its name from the Gascon word for knife, referencing the “cut” imparted by the Barsac appellation’s unique soil, whose limestone content gives its sweet wines their signature crisp, lively impression.
