Château CoutetBarsac 2010 375mL
About this product
Chateau Coutet is located in Barsac and occupies approximately 35 hectares of land - the owners and custodians of this fine, 1st Growth estate are the charming Baly family, whose active work promoting Sauternes has been widely and well received. The 2010 Chateau Coutet holds an impressive 154-grams-per-litre of residual sugar and comes with considerable power and balancing clean acidity. The wine is vinified in oak barrels, then spends 18 months maturing in more oak. The style is decidedly concentrated and rich, but disarmingly vibrant and fresh.

The Chateau Coutet 2010 was a beauty from barrel with its payload of 154gms of residual sugar and sure enough, after a year in bottle it is one of the most compelling sweet wines in the vintage. It shows immense clarity on the nose, with the oak still a little prominent at the moment, but it will integrate with bottle age. The palate is well-balanced with a fine line of acidity. There is an engaging sense of tension here, real drive and mineralite towards the finish, like a cousin of Doisy-Daene but with a little more bravura. There is a sense of purpose about this 2010 Sauternes, with a persistent finish that keeps you coming back for more. Bravo! Drink now-2030+.
