critic reviews
The 2024 Coutet is pale lemon-straw in color. It needs a lot of shaking to coax out notes of yellow apples, juicy grapefruit, and fresh pineapples, plus hints of chalk dust and fresh ginger. The palate is tightly wound with wonderful energy and just enough freshness, finishing on a pure orchard fruit note.
The 2024 Coutet was picked over six <em>tries</em> although the final ones were not used with 134 g/L residual sugar this year. It has quite an intense bouquet with beautifully defined lemon thyme and light peach aromas. The palate is well balanced with a vivacious opening, lively apricot and quince notes and concentration effortlessly offset by the silver thread of acidity. Composed and persistent on the finish, this is a superb Coutet.
Delivers texture and flesh, love the aromatics that are sweet without being heavy, this has restraint and carefully-measured fleshy fruits, nectarine, pineapple, white peaches, lime zest, gunsmoke, perfectly-judged acidities. One of the wines of the vintage, great stuff from Philippe and Aline Baly.
