2017 Chateau Coutet Premier Cru Classe, Barsac

Sealed 6 Bottle Original Wood Case

Chateau Coutet is a historic estate situated in the Barsac appellation, where the property has been family-managed since 1977 and maintains a tradition of viticulture dating back to the 17th century. The vineyards thrive on a unique terroir of red clay and limestone soils, and the wine is made from a blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle. In the glass, this wine presents a structured palate with concentrated notes of apricot, honey, and citrus zest supported by a distinct mineral backbone. The 2017 vintage was shaped by meticulous vineyard work following spring frosts and a warm, dry summer, which allowed for balanced ripening and the development of high-quality botrytis. This bottle is built for the cellar, offering impressive longevity and the potential to develop further complexity over the coming years.
