Chateau Coutet Barsac

”Weather conditions: We experienced an exceptional climate a prerequisite to elaborating a great wine. Spring was very humid yet gave the flower a sufficient lull to develop in good conditions. Summer was surprisingly dry with a little rain over several days mid-August which favored a good ripening of the grapes.

A gradual and homogeneous maturation was observed marked by the development of a very pure Botrytis. Harvest: With a large team of pickers (90 people) small daily quantities were picked that gave notable juices. We completed eight passages from September 30th to November 8th. The phenomenal climatic conditions at the beginning of November rewarded the technical team’s patience. Tasting notes: The wine shows a beautiful color with golden and green glints. The nose is characterized by dominant citrus aromas such as orange and grapefruit. It also shows notes
