Château Coutet is one of the historic and most renowned wineries in the Barsac-Sauternes appellation, in the heart of Bordeaux, renowned for its extraordinary sweet wines made from botrytized grapes. Founded in the 17th century and classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé 1855, Château Coutet is distinguished by a refined, fresh, and elegant style, making it an absolute benchmark among great Sauternes wines. The vineyards, planted primarily with Sémillon, along with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, benefit from a unique terroir, characterized by clay-limestone soils and the influence of "noble fog," which favors the development of Botrytis Cinerea, the noble rot that gives the wine its inimitable complexity.
In the glass, Château Coutet reveals an intense and refined bouquet of honey, candied apricot, citrus, tropical fruit, and white flowers, enriched with spicy notes and mineral touches. Its natural sweetness is always balanced by a vibrant acidity, enhancing its freshness, longevity, and harmony. Perfect paired with foie gras, blue cheeses, fruit tarts, and refined desserts, it also pairs beautifully with Asian cuisine and spicy dishes.
Château Coutet represents the quintessential Bordeaux dessert wine: elegant, complex, rich, and capable of exciting both immediately and after decades of bottle aging. A legendary winery, beloved by connoisseurs and collectors around the world.
