The 2025 Coutet is redolent of burnt sugar, crème brûlée, spice, passion fruit and candied ginger. Always quite rich texturally, Coutet blossoms beautifully on the palate with plenty of textural presence and body. It's a gorgeous wine by any measure. Tasted two times. 04/2026

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. 05/2026

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. 05/2026

Couleur dorée. Nez intense, fruité, pur et délicatement crémeux. Ample à l'attaque, riche en milieu de bouche, avec un toucher soyeux, le vin caresse le palais et fond sur une nuance de beurre frais et d'épices. Grande persistance savoureuse et irrésistible. C'est superbe. Assemblage : 97 % Sémillon, 2 % Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Muscadelle. Degré d'alcool : 13°5 - pH : 3,77. Sucres résiduels : 155 g/l. 04/2026

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. 04/2026
