Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed March 2021This wine is
beautifully textured. The orange-peel and
candied fruitiness are balanced by a dry core of
botrytis that gives the wine weight while keeping
a light touch. It has all the tight freshness and
minerality typical of this great estate. Drink from
2026.*Cellar Selection* (RV)

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. (LPB)

Decanter
Deep in colour, with strong peach and apricot pit flavours, and welcome touches of almond bitterness on the finish that help things to lift off and take flight, because overall things are extremely concentrated here. 50% new oak was used. A yield of just 3hl/ha. Tasted twice. (JA)

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. (NM)
