WINE DESCRIPTION

Château Coutet Cuvée Madame is a special release produced only in the very best years, coming from the property’s two oldest parcels of Sémillon. The average age of the vines on these plots is around 55 years. The selection process is painstaking as each grape is picked one-by-one by hand. Further sorting takes place at the wine press and damaged grapes are eliminated immediately. Alcohol fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels before it stops to retain sweetness, then the wine is aged in barrels for three years before bottling.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Château Coutet Cuvée Madame Barsac wafts from the glass with a captivating bouquet of honeyed apricots, ripe peaches, and exotic tropical fruits.These aromas are complemented by delicate floral notes, such as acacia and orange blossom, as well as rye bread and candied ginger. The palate is rich and luscious, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The flavors of candied citrus, marmalade, and honey intertwine with hints of vanilla and toasted almonds, creating a complex and indulgent taste experience. The wine is viscous and long with a lingering finish.
