2010 Chateau Coutet, Sauternes - Barsac, France
Regular price $55.99
The 2010 Chateau Cotet is also a Fantastic Vintage, with 95 points WS, 95 points Jeannie Cho lee, & 97 Points Vertde Vin!
It has a beautiful golden color, and the wine’s extremely fine nose brings in lovely hints of very ripe exotic and citrus fruits as well as vanilla, with a tinge of subtle and elegant floral aromas.
On the palate, the wine is fleshy, round and dulcet with a perfect balance between power, freshness and finesse, enhanced by the persistent aromatic zests of citrus, mingled with notes of preserved apricot. The finish is dense and rich yet gives an impression of ‘crispness’ with the presence of fresh fruits. It is the expression of a very promising but young vintage, with the power and the complexity that are expected of a harvest with excellent climatic conditions.
It is Perfect when paired with Creme Brulee, Foie Gras, & Lotus Seed Mooncake!
Chateau Cotet has a long history that goes way back up to 1855. It is currently managed by the Baly Family, and they are currently advised by the technical staff from Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Their greatest achievement was the 2014 Chateau Cotet, which was ranked 3rd in the Top 100 World Wines published by Wine Spectator.
