Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate March - 2022
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Eclipsing the superlative 1962 and 1967 with the passage of time, Coutet's 1976 Coutet is stunning today, bursting from the glass with aromas of apricot, pineapple, confit citrus, beeswax, saffron and vanilla pod. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's layered and vibrant, with a satiny attack and a seamless, lated mid-palate, it concludes with a long, penetrating finish.

Having just tasted an average Yquem 1976, I expected to be disappointed. Not at all! Golden color. Fruity and still fresh nose. Admittedly the palate doesn't have the ethereal aspect of the greatest, but the wine is neither dry nor compact. Fruity, dense, still young, it finishes deliciously with a normal length. A successful pairing with the confit duck cannelloni.

(1-2014) Roasted dried fruits, roasted apricot, vanilla. Opulent palate, less complex and spicy finish. Atypical vintage, more raisined than botrytized. Great bottle nonetheless.

Much liked in 1996, 1998 and 2000 its colour more golden, but not deepm herbaceous, grassy, cress-likem lovely flavour and its acidity both propping it up and adding vivacity.

Château Château Coutet
Château Coutet
Château Coutet

Château Coutet is a Bordeaux wine estate located in the Barsac area. The Château has over 38 hectares of vineyards, mainly planted with Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle grape varieties. Coutet is a Premier Cru Classé of Sauternes in the Sauternes classification of classified growths.

As at Château d'Yquem, the old vertical presses are still in use and the must, after settling, is vinified in new barrels. Château Coutet produces a nectar of exceptional longevity. Under the direction of Marcel Baly since 1977, the wine has gained in liqueur richness, while maintaining its freshness and grace.

The best wines from the Château are the 1929 and 1949 vintages, the 1959 wines, the 1961 vintage, the 1989 vintage, the 1990 classified growths, 2000 grand cru wines and the young 2005 vintage.
