Chateau Coutet Sauternes 2025

Description

Intense bouquet of classic noble rot: fresh quince and ripe apricot, touch of candied mango. Palate: Barsac freshness balanced by density and roundness, impressive breadth and depth; quince paste and toasted hazelnut, delicate minerality, lingering finish. Grapes: Semillon 97%, Sauvignon Blanc 2%, Muscadelle 1%.

Winemaker Notes

An intense bouquet, immediately expressive of classic noble rot, unfolds with aromas of fresh quince and ripe apricot, underscored by a touch of candied mango. On the palate, the freshness that defines the Barsac terroirs is instantly and harmoniously balanced by density and roundness, revealing impressive breadth and depth. This combination of power and finely honed precision is characteristic of sun-filled vintages. Notes of quince paste and toasted hazelnut then emerge, gradually giving way to a delicate minerality that brings tension and lift to the finish, which lingers beautifully Blend: 97% Sémillon, 2% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Muscadelle

    Grilled peach, toasted bread, honey, and mint are just some of the nuances that emerge from the 2025 Château Coutet, a rich, powerful, full-bodied Barsac. On the palate, it has clean, integrated acidity and a great finish. I love its overall balance.
  • 97ptsVinous
    The 2025 Coutet is a little more backward on the nose than usual, less giving. But there is wonderful purity of fruit, lemon thyme and clementine scents, touches of white flower. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous entry, playing with Coutet's trademark thread of acidity that emanates from the limestone soils. Quite minerally and spicy on the aftertaste, this is a marvellous Barsac from the Baly family. –Neal Martin

    This is round and concentrated, with incisive acidity providing balance. Full-bodied and attractive in its power, with just enough freshness to hold it together.
