Château Coutet, 1er Grand Cru Classé Barsac, 2021 - (75cl)

A Barsac full of freshness and very balanced
1st Grand Cru Classé in 1855 in Barsac appellation, Château Coutet is a must for the great wines of Bordeaux. The difficult weather of the beginning of the year and especially of April, punctuated by devastating frosts put the property to the test. Thanks to the efforts of the teams who stayed up for several nights to maintain fire protection, about 50% of the vineyard was saved. The meticulous work and the mild weather of the following months make it possible to create a very beautiful wine.

This Château Coutet 2017 is extremely pleasant. The aromatic complexity of the nose dominated by citrus (lemon in particular) and complemented by floral notes is confirmed by a mouth both lively and greedy in a signature balance of the large Barsac. The wine is smooth on the palate and stays fresh. The final of this Château Coutet 2017 is superb with a very important aromatic persistence.
