The nose is a sensory journey, where the fragrance is a harmonious blend of very ripe exotic and citrus fruits, intermingled with the subtle elegance of vanilla and delicate floral notes.

The finish is a captivating culmination, offering a density and richness that belie an underlying sense of crispness, punctuated by the presence of fresh fruits. Coutet 2010 is a testament to a promising and youthful vintage, embodying the power and complexity expected of a harvest blessed with exceptional climatic conditions.

Robert Parker - 95 Points

"The 2010 Coutet, a blend of 75% Sémillon, 23% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle, is pale lemon-gold in color with a nose that explodes with decadent pineapple, mango and lemon meringue pie notes with touches of acacia honey, candle wax and yuzu. Full-on opulent in the mouth, the palate sings with concentrated citrus and tropical fruit layers, finishing long and honeyed. This has 160 grams per liter of residual sugar."

Antonio Galloni - 95 Points

"The 2010 Coutet has quite an intense bouquet with linseed oil and wax resin infusing the dried honey aromas, then orange pith and a touch of saffron. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Harmonious and extremely well focused, this conveys a sense of energy on the finish that makes you want to return for another sip. Excellent. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal."
