Château Coutet
Built in the 13th century, this English fortress became a wine estate in 1643. Once owned by the Lur-Saluces family, it housed the stables of Château d'Yquem, which have now been converted into a wine cellar. Vertical wine presses dating from the 1920s, a 14th-century chapel, and a paved courtyard give Château Coutet its distinctive character.
In 1787, US President Thomas Jefferson, then US Ambassador to France, distinguished Château Coutet as "the best Sauternes in Barsac." Recognized for its excellence, Château Coutet wine was named "premier grand cru" in the 1855 classification.
Château Coutet combines elegance and quality to produce a magnificent Sauternes under the management of the Baly family with the technical and commercial collaboration of the company "Baron Philippe de Rothschild S.A.".
The Château Coutet vineyard benefits from an exceptional terroir. The deep roots of the vines draw nutrients from the limestone and clay soil, giving the grapes their richness and strength.
The wine is named "Coutet," derived from the Gascon word "couteau," which evokes sharpness and liveliness, freshness and vibrancy, a unique style.
In its youth, it is full of generous aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, honey, and vanilla.
With age, it develops deeper, warmer notes combining exotic spices and candied fruits.
Age accentuates the harmony of its botrytic character and gives the wine a delicate bouquet.
