Classified First Growth property Château Coutet boasts a reputation for the superb quality of the sweet wines it produces and is today in the hands of Philippe and Dominique Baly. The 2003 release is a sumptuous blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle and is described by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW as follows, `The 2003 Coutet is pale to medium gold colored and leaps from the glass with vivacious notes of baked peaches, key lime pie and candied orange peel with hints of lime leaves, praline and lemon curd. The rich, expressive palate is laden with spicy layers, framed by lively acid and finishing on a crème caramel note. Drink Date 2018 - 2028.`
