    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Layered and building with plush apricot, peach and guava, Coutet is beautifully well-rounded and solid with a delicious sweetness and fluidity. One of the better sweet wines we tasted, here there is a lovely balance to the wine, arriving at a final blend of 95% Semillon, 4% Sauvignon Blanc and 1% Muscadelle.

    The 2022 Coutet has a clean and precise bouquet with scents of white peach, apricot blossom, quince and saffron. It unfolds wonderfully in the glass but maintains a sense of control. The palate is very well balanced, with ample weight counterbalanced by a keen thread of acidity. There is a naturalness to this Coutet that I really appreciate. This is very fine.

    Low yields but well expressed juiciness here, along with luscious texture of apricot, citrus, pineapple, sage, mint leaf, liqourice, really impressive complexity and depth of flavour, kick of slate minerality on finish. An upscore from En Primeur - more proof that Barsac is the place to look in this vintage. Harvest September 26 to October 28

    A blend of 94% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc, and 1% Muscadelle, with 158 g/L residual sugar, the 2022 Coutet is pale to medium straw in color. After a little swirling, the nose erupts with gorgeous lime cordial, fresh grapefruit, and mandarin peel scents, followed by wafts of wet pebbles, freshly shaved ginger, and beeswax. The palate is vibrant and shimmery with fantastic intensity and tension, finishing long and layered.
