Parker about Château Coutet 2022
One of the wines of the vintage, the 2022 Coutet opens with notes of apricots, spices and exotic fruits, setting the stage for a medium to full-bodied, round and supple palate enhanced by brightness and tension that culminates in a spicy, minty finish. Its balanced structure and lively acidity contribute to an ethereal ending, making it a very elegant yet chiseled Barsac. This blend of 94% Sémillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc and 1% Muscadelle is matured for 18 months in barrels.

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.
