Château Coutet 1989, from Barsac-Sauternes, blends Sémillon (80%) and Sauvignon Blanc (20%) on clay-limestone soils. Its indulgent nose — crème brûlée, candied citrus — gives way to an unctuous yet lively palate with accents of honey and spice. Perfect with foie gras or aged cheeses.
A historic estate rooted in the golden lands of Barsac, where the art of luscious elegance has been passed down since the 17th century.
- Terroir: Clay-limestone and gravelly soils of the Sauternes appellation, bathed by the Ciron, which encourages noble rot and concentrates the aromas.
- Vinification: A meticulous blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, aged with patience to reveal a precise sweetness and a chalky minerality.
Tasting notes for the wine Château Coutet Coutet 1989
To the eye: Amber robe of silky density, with golden highlights evoking the autumn light on the vines.
On the nose: Aromas of crème brûlée and candied peaches intertwine with notes of lemon tart, while a saline touch and a hint of cinnamon bring depth and freshness.
On the palate: Unctuous and taut texture, where layers of honey, citrus peel and gentle spices unfold, supported by a lively acidity and a finish of mineral length.
Serve at 8–10°C in a Bordeaux-style white wine glass to bring out its full complexity.
Vintage 1989
A generous vintage, marked by a rare balance between ripeness and freshness, ideal for the sweet wines of Sauternes.
