Parker about Château Coutet 2001
I tasted two bottles of the Coutet 2001. The first had a distinct, rather pungent aniseed element on the nose and a slight bitterness on the palate. Calling for a second example, this is much more representative. Here is a typical Coutet nose that is just beginning to find its groove: barley sugar and quince scents typifying Barsac, augmented by Seville orange and lime. The palate is viscous and extremely well focused with fine minerality and tension. It feels quite youthful and linear vis-à-vis its peers and conclusions with a tangy, marmalade-lavished finish. This is aging nicely although at the same time, I would suggest that the Baly family have surpassed this with subsequent vintages.

Château Coutet 2001
Château Coutet 2001 is a fascinating wine that perfectly captures the essence of its vintage and the characteristic refinement of its terroir in Barsac, in the heart of the Sauternes region.
On the nose, an enticing bouquet unfolds with aromas of ripe tropical fruits such as pineapple, mango, and papaya, intertwined with honey, dried apricots, and a subtle hint of vanilla. These aromas are deep and complex, and the aroma alone promises an exceptional wine.
On the palate, Château Coutet 2001 presents itself with impressive richness and a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The delicious sweetness of botrytis, also known as noble rot, blends harmoniously with a vibrant acidity that lends the wine freshness and vibrancy. The texture is silky and smooth, and the aromas of tropical fruits, honey, and spices unfold on the tongue with great intensity.
The finish is long and refreshing, with a remarkable persistence of exotic fruit aromas and a subtle hint of minerality. Château Coutet 2001 is a masterpiece of Sauternes winemaking, reflecting both the tradition and innovation of this renowned domaine and promising an unforgettable experience for lovers of sweet wines.
