Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
The 2013 Coutet has one of the most complex aromatics you will find this year - a smorgasbord of citrus fruit, lime zest, orange blossom and white peach that is beautifully interwoven with compelling mineralite. The palate is extremely well-balanced, very intense and linear right from the start, with wonderful tension toward the finish that exhibits just a hint of spice. In other words, this is everything you expect from a great Coutet.

The 38.5 hectare vineyard is planted 75% Sémillon, 23% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle. Barrel ageing extends for 18 months in 100% new oak.
