Vintage Report
The 2020 vintage in Barsac and Sauternes is of excellent quality with a score of 91. The wines from this year are characterized as early maturing and are therefore already easily accessible.
Chateau Coutet winery boasts a long and rich history, having been named the best Sauternes of Barsac in 1787. Thomas Jefferson, the President of France, was completely captivated by the quality of this wine. He proved to be absolutely right, as the winery received the Premier Grand Cru classification in 1855 for the consistent quality of this dessert wine. The winery has always remained true to this rich history and continues to produce wine today according to the tradition of elegance and quality.
Collaboration with Baron Philippe de Rothschild
The Château Coutet winery is still owned by the Bay family, who have a long and distinguished history. However, they sought collaborations with none other than Baron Philippe de Rothschild. They brought together expertise, and the two families still work hand in hand today.Completely hand-harvested for this Chateau Coutet Sauternes Barsac
The vineyards are unique and perfectly situated in the commune of Sauternes-Barsac. The wonderful climate, where the sun gently ripens the grapes and the Gironde wind provides the right cooling, results in a superb harvest. The average age of the vines is over forty years, resulting in full and powerful aromas and flavors. The harvest is affected by noble rot, which causes the bunches to rot on the vines. This allows the bunches to build strength and increases the sugar content of the grapes. The harvest is a meticulous and demanding task, carried out by around eighty experts. Each grape is inspected and harvested by hand, ensuring that only the finest bunches are used in this wine.Wood aging for the Chateau Coutet
Once the golden juice is obtained, the wine is aged entirely in oak barrels. This period lasts a full eighteen months, giving it its distinctive flavor. This is primarily due to the type of wood and the proportion of new barrels used. New French barrels simply lend more elegance to the wines. The aroma reveals notes of white flowers, honey, citrus, and vanilla, as well as ginger and ripe pineapple. The palate reveals hints of spices, candied fruit, and a hint of exotic nectar. A unique piece of craftsmanship is the best way to describe this Château Coutet Sauternes Barsac Premier Cru Classe.Product details
