Château Coutet 2010 is a Sauternes crafted from a blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. This botrytis-affected wine displays a nuanced profile, featuring citrus peel and quince alongside hints of apricot. The vibrant acidity provides a counterpoint to the natural sweetness, creating a structured mouthfeel. The vineyard, located in Barsac, benefits from unique terroir conditions that facilitate the development of noble rot. Château Coutet has been classified a Premier Cru Classé since the 1855 classification.
