Tasting notes

Neal Martin, June 2021 95

The 2017 Coutet has a much more attractive bouquet than the 2016 with dried honey, white tea, chamomile and orange blossom aromas, showing more intensity and vigor. The palate is beautifully balanced with crisp acidity, viscous honeyed fruit, orange peel and apricot, complex and engaging on the finish. Superb. Tasted from an ex-château bottle served at the estate. Drink 2021-2045.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, January 2020 96

Wow. Fabulous focus and intensity to this wine with energetic sweetness and long, linear quality through the center palate. Orange-peel, lemon and peach undertones. Fresh finish. Drink or hold.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, RobertParker.com, March 2020 95

The 2017 Coutet has a super intense nose of ripe apricots, honey-coated nuts, warm pineapple and mango with touches of nutmeg and orange blossoms. Rich, sweet and unctuous, it has wonderful intensity and depth, finishing with fantastic length.

Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, April 2017 17

Unusual aroma – almond paste and something more herbal as well as the rich, spicy citrus. Powerful bitter-orange flavours, deep and long. More power than elegance at this stage. Long, tangy finish. Drink 2025-2037

Derek Smedley MW, DerekSmedleyMW.co.uk, May 2018 91/94

The nose has a floral charm the palate packed with ripe fruit the sweet candied peel backed by honeyed peach a fleshy richness. Tangerine gives a balancing freshness and brings out botrytis spice on the finish. Drink 2025-2037.

Matthew Jukes, Matthew Jukes' Blog, April 2018 18.5+

Very clean, bright and rather magical. Not heavy in any way and yet very long and very satisfying. This is a refreshing and sensitive wine and it will appeal to all palates enormously.

Neal Martin, vinous.com, May 2018 94/96

The 2017 Coutet, which was tasted both as a final blend and directly from several different lots in barrel, has a very well defined bouquet with pure wild honey and orange blossom aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is crisp and fresh, underpinned by Coutet’s trademark acidic drive that counterbalances the intense honeyed fruit laced with orange zest and white peach. Superb. Drink 2022-2050.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, April 2018 93/94

Lots of powdered mushrooms, dried lemons and apricots. Full-bodied, dense and layered. Beautiful finish. A top sweet white for the vintage.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate (236), April 2018 95/97

The 2017 Coutet has lovely notions of spice cake, fresh ginger and honeysuckle over a core of lemon curd, beeswax and preserved peaches. Rich, spicy and quite decadent in the mouth, it has wonderful freshness and depth, finishing very long.
