(94-96 points) Flowers, pineapples, mango, apricot and candied lemon notes get the wine going. The palate, with its layers of sweet, ripe and overripe, honeyed yellow, and orange fruits is fresh, long, intense, balanced...

Vinous, January 2025

The 2022 Coutet delivers nuances of pineapple, tangerine oil, orange confit and spice. Exotic and unctuous, it's also light on its feet for such an obviously rich wine. There's great balance here. -- Antonio Galloni

Wine Spectator, February 2025

Ripe, unctuous and deliciously rendered, this pumps out orange blossom, peach, apricot and pineapple upside-down cake notes that are seamlessly stitched with bitter almond and orange threads. Offers a long, seductively...

Decanter, January 2025

Orange, lemon, lime, honey, caramel with an almost candy floss scent. Smooth and so satisfying on the palate, a lovely buttery element alongside signature bitterness. Complex and compelling, really thick and glossy but...

In its youth, Chateau Coutet displays generous notes of white flowers, citrus fruits, honey and vanilla. Ginger and pineapple are very typical aromas in a young release. Time brings out deeper, warmer notes in which spices combine with exotic nectars and candied fruits, such as gingerbread mingled with marmalade. Age also enhances the harmony of its roasted botrytis character and its distinct aromas to give Chateau Coutet a delicate and unique bouquet that is unsurpassed.

The 2022 Coutet [Sauternes Blend] is a white wine from the Barsac sub-region of Bordeaux, France. Produced by Chateau Coutet, this wine is a blend of 94% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc, and 1% Muscadelle. It is closed with a cork and has a residual sugar content of 158 g/L and a pH of 3.88.

He noted its "impressive focus," "medium-bodied" palate with a "viscous opening," and "fine acidity." Martin concluded with praise for its "tensile and persistent finish," calling it "superb."
