Still aging in oak, the wine is of a pale color. The nose is full of lovely aromatic notes of grapefruit, lychee, mango and pineapple. In addition, flavors of lime, toasted almond, and acacia flower can be detected. The palate is fresh and mineral but an incredible density to the wine imparts a long finish. The vintage is already unusual for its power and freshness.

The coolness of the soil is expressed by the vines as they produce this rich, lively wine with its youthful aromas of white blossom, citrus fruit, honey and vanilla.
Château Coutet, a Classified First Growth, is a flagship of the Barsac appellation.
After a few years in the bottle, it develops spice and tropical and candied fruit notes, in delicate harmony.
