Pale medium colour. Fresh nougat, apricot, nectarine, honey aromas with orange peel notes. Richly concentrated and supple with lovely viscosity, lacy textures, some bittersweet notes and fresh quartz-like acidity. Very well balanced with lovely complexity and mineral length. 94% Semillon 5% Sauvignon Blanc 1% Muscadelle

Tempting dried fruit here with spice and floral character. Full and creamy with attractive acidity and a textural finish.

Lots of dried-apricot and peach aromas with hints of dried white mushrooms and flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, this has lots of sweetness but a spicy flint and citrus character with dried pineapple and white peaches. Extremely long and flavorful. Such a balance and classiness to this. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Château Coutet is more deep gold-hued and has a ripe, powerful style in its brioche, toasted bread, honeyed orange, and marmalade-like aromas and flavors. It's a rich, unctuous, full-bodied effort that has serious density and depth.

Orange, lemon, lime, honey, caramel with an almost candy floss scent. Smooth and so satisfying on the palate, a lovely buttery element alongside signature bitterness. Complex and compelling, really thick and glossy but enjoyable.
