Heiner Lobenberg über:
Chateau Coutet 1er Cru Classe 2023
96–98 /100
Lobenberg: 95% Semillon, 4% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Muscadelle. Wow, was ist das für eine geballte Konzentration in der Nase! Unglaublich satte Noten von Mango und reifer Aprikose lassen einem schon das Wasser im Mund zusammenlaufen. Dazu eingelegte Orangenzesten, auch Orangenblüten und Akazienhonig. Ganz dezent auch Noten von Erdnusskrokant. Immense Komplexität! Mit etwas Zeit kommen dann auch salzige Noten, etwas Meeresbrise und Austernschale. Am Gaumen Quitte und Aprikosengelee in totaler Harmonie. Saftiger, gelber Apfel, reife Traubenaromatik, gelbe Kiwi. Dazu Noten von Salzmandel. Sehr komplex und hochkonzentriert mit immenser Länge. Ein Barsac vom Format großer Sauternes – sehr stark!

Decanter über:
Chateau Coutet 1er Cru Classe
-- Decanter: Superb Barsac energy and keen spice, almost Cayenne pepper with pronounced ginger, clove and both dry and fresh fig. Tasted twice with the same beguiling results, this wonderful wine exudes balance that reflects both opulence and verve (165 grams per litre of residual sugar, 3.66pH). The acidity makes this wine vivacious and mouthwatering so try with Thai curry or Szechuan cuisine - or just on its own. A vibrant, late harvest Barsac and a top wine of the vintage.

Jane Anson über:
Chateau Coutet 1er Cru Classe
-- Jane Anson: Beautiful aromatics, fresh acidity that picks things up from the first moment, crisp citrus, mango, pineapple, grated ginger, and a twist of bitter aniseed on the finish. Richly concentrated, reflecting small yields, but once again a wine that shows the huge potential of this style in the 2023 vintage. Harvest between September 20 and October 11.

Jeff Leve über:
Chateau Coutet 1er Cru Classe
-- Jeff Leve: Flowers, pineapples, candied orange rind, lemon curd, and saffron aromatics are all over the place here in the nose, and palate. The wine is perfectly balanced between its sweet, and zesty side, with ample, honeyed fruit, vanilla, roasted nuts, and over ripe pineapples. This is already simply great, and it is only going to get better from here. Drink from 2027-2050.

Neal Martin über:
Chateau Coutet 1er Cru Classe
-- Neal Martin: The 2023 Coutet has a tightly-wound bouquet that demands more coaxing than its peers. It typically already possesses laser-sharp focus and is less flamboyant than fellow Barsacs, underpinned and sharpened by its limestone soils. The palate is well balanced with intense botrytised fruit, lightly spiced dried honey and orange rind notes, just a hint of apricot in the background, stretching out on the finish that lingers on the tongue. I am not sure it is the best Coutet in recent years, but it is certainly a very fine contribution to the vintage that should age well in bottle.

Suckling über:
Chateau Coutet 1er Cru Classe
-- Suckling: A Barsac with dried-apple, apricot and spice character. The botrytis comes through with a healthy and clean nature to it. Medium-bodied and medium-sweet with a spicy finish.
