Parker about Château Coutet 2019
The pale lemon-gold colored 2019 Coutet is a thrill ride from the get-go, exploding from the glass with fantastically intense scents of tangerine peel, lime blossoms and lemon marmalade over a core of pineapple upside-down cake, candied ginger, ripe apricots and clover honey plus suggestions of chanterelles and musk perfume. The palate is equally electric and exhilarating, prancing around the palate with a whole myriad of candied citrus, stone fruit and citrus flavors, charged by a racy backbone of acidity, finishing beautifully textured and with an epically long firework display of minerals. Apart from all that, it is pretty darn delicious.
Suckling over Château Coutet 2019
Wildflower honey, dried pineapple, candied lemon, with an exotic ginger and cumin spice here and marmalade on the nose. Waxy and luscious balanced by fresh acidity. Spicy, unctuous but also delicate. Drink now or hold.

Information about the winemaker:
Perched on the southern slopes of the limestone cliffs of Saint-Émilion in southern France, the Château Coutet winery benefits from a prime location. When it comes to the terroir, as a winegrower and wine lover, you couldn't ask for anything better: the site consists of limestone, clayey and sandy soils, one third each. Both red and white grapes thrive on an area of 38 hectares: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Semillon Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. Merlot differs from the commonly cultivated grape variety and comes from a stock that is several centuries old. The estate is surrounded by other wineries which include Château Beausejour Duffau, Château Bellevue and Château Beausejour Becot.
