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.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate 94-96 point
"The 2020 Coutet has a pale lemon-gold color, waltzing out of the glass with energetic notes of lemon tart, pink grapefruit, green mango and lime blossoms, with hints of chopped almonds, clover honey, candle wax and straw, plus a waft of sea spray. The palate is all class, featuring ethereal intensity and amazing poise, enveloped in a satiny texture and seamless acidity, finishing long and mineral laced. Currently, while it is just a tick or so down on the impressive 2019, I love the restraint and energy of this 2020 and wouldn't be surprised if it eventually spreads its wings and surpasses its showier sibling over time."

"Bright, yellow gold colour, with citrus, apricot, pineapple and a ton of mango fruits on the palate. Silky texture with spikes of lime juice bringing pep and definition. Saffron and white pepper add even more lift through the finish, this is excellent and easy to recommend."
