Château Coutet er at betragte som et af flagskibene inden for de ædelsøde vine i Barsac. Få steder på kloden formår man at lave søde vine af en sådan kvalitet, som man finder i Barsac og Sauternes, hvor Golf-strømmen i Atlanterhavet, Landes-skoven mod syd-vest og Garonde-floden skaber helt unikke betingelser for at frembringe disse delikate, botrytis-angrebede vine.

Château Coutet hører med sin klassifikation som Premier Cru Classé til i den absolutte superliga. 

Det kræver sit at producere disse vine, da høsten foregår af mange omgange for at sikre, at druerne har den perfekte, "boytritis-angrebede" sødmegrad. 

Vinen vinificeres på barrique, hvoraf 50% er nye og lagres efterfølgende på barrique i 18 måneder.

94 Point, James Suckling
"Lots of dried-apricot and peach aromas with hints of dried white mushrooms and flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, this has lots of sweetness but a spicy flint and citrus character with dried pineapple and white peaches. Extremely long and flavorful. Such a balance and classiness to this. Drink or hold."

94 Point, Decanter: 
"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 enjoyable."

94+ Point, Robert Parker WA
"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."
