(4-1990) Yellow-green. Deep. Brilliant. Clean. Intense. Slightly smoky with a fungal presence not yet refined. Evolving. Clean. Intense. Same on a citrus register. Clean, soft and majestic attack. Development on a voluminous structure with very fine tactile contact, opulent but always airy and melting, without excess sugar. Very balanced evolution towards a very, very fruity, glycerinated and very, very long finish. Very beautiful wine. Botrytized. Great potential that should be monitored during the long aging of this cuvée before making a definitive judgment. Excellent

(4-1995) Tiny quantities are made of Coutet's Cuvee Madame, a spectacularly rich Barsac that, along with Yquem, is the quintessential example of what heights a great sweet wine can achieve. The 1988, 1989 and 1990 vintages are nearly perfect wines. The 1990 is the richest and most powerful, but the 1988's extraordinary perfume is other-worldly. All three wines offer a profound bouquet of smoky, toasty new oak combined with honeyed peaches and apricots, as well as coconuts and a touch of creme brulee. With extraordinarily rich, full-bodied, marvelously extracted personalities, as well as wonderful underlying acidity, these are spectacular wines. As a postscript, many readers may not realize that Coutet's Cuvee Madame is only released in great vintages. It is produced from the oldest vines and most botrysized grapes. The first vintage produced was 1943, followed by 1949, 1950, 1959, 1971, 1975, 1981, 1986, and the three vintages reviewed in this issue.

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.
