critic reviews

90/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

The 2018 Coutet is medium lemon-yellow in color. It has oxidative notes of bruised apples and hay, with hints of butterscotch and toasted almonds. The palate is evolving, with a lively backbone and a nutty finish.

94/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2018 Coutet has a very intense bouquet with marmalade, clementines, mango and light apple blossom scents, all delivered with exceptional precision and delineation. The palate is vibrant and tensile on the opening thanks to a killer line of acidity that slices through the viscous fruit. There is so much tangible energy in this Coutet. This comes highly recommended.

93-95/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Pale to medium lemon-gold colored, the 2018 Coutet has super intense, well-delineated notions of warm pineapple, green guava and baked pineapple with hints of mandarin peel, gingerbread, orange blossoms and lime leaves. The palate is alive with energetic tropical fruit and exotic spice notes with a lovely satiny texture and fantastic freshness, finishing with epic length.
