Crafted predominantly from Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, this acclaimed dessert wine offers vibrant aromas of tropical fruits, citrus blossom, honey, and apricot, layered with subtle floral, vanilla, and mineral notes. Rich yet remarkably fresh, its silky texture and lively acidity create exceptional harmony, leading to a long, elegant finish. With outstanding aging potential, Château Coutet 2020 is a superb companion to foie gras, blue cheese, fruit-based desserts, and fine pâtisserie.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 94-96\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Jul 30, 2021\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2025-2055\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Coutet has a pale lemon-gold color, waltzing out of the glass with energetic notes of lemon tart, pink grapefruit, green mango and lime blossoms, with hints of chopped almonds, clover honey, candle wax and straw, plus a waft of sea spray. The palate is all class, featuring ethereal intensity and amazing poise, enveloped in a satiny texture and seamless acidity, finishing long and mineral laced. Currently, while it is just a tick or so down on the impressive 2019, I love the restraint and energy of this 2020 and wouldn't be surprised if it eventually spreads its wings and surpasses its showier sibling over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWE 96\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Jan 4, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautifully perfumed wine, this is richly textured and full of spice.
