Description
A sweet passito from Bordeaux, 13.5% ABV, produced by Chateau Coutet, classified as a 1er Grand Cru Classé. Vintage 2020, 0.75 L bottle. A Barsac that embodies the excellence of a unique terroir, with a history dating back to 1643. The nose is characterized by dominant citrus aromas, such as orange and grapefruit. It also features notes of pineapple, peach, vanilla, and broom flower with a hint of toasted brioche. A beautiful yellow with golden and green highlights. The attack is powerful, generous, beautifully fresh, smooth, and dense. An extraordinarily balanced wine.

Marcel Baly and two of his sons, Philippe and Dominique, became the new owners of Château Coutet in 1977. Originally from Alsace, the family subsequently expanded overseas, especially in the United States. With zeal and determination, they set about the task of renewing the vineyard and the winery buildings.
In 1994, the two brothers concluded an agreement with Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA. The winemaking team is now advised by the technical staff from Château Mouton Rothschild. At the same time they entered into a commercial agreement for the exclusive distribution of the estate’s wines. Read more
