92 Pts Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media	"Complex, classy aromas of nectarine, apricot, smoke and roasted grain. Very rich and concentrated; full and sweet for Barsac but carrying no excess weight. Lovely pliant texture. Finishes very long, spicy and fresh. A very elegant wine with an impressively long, spicy aftertaste." (08/00)

90 Pts Robert Parker - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate	"A classic example of elegance allied to richness and intensity, Coutet's 1997 exhibits an expressive, floral, citrusy, honeyed nose, with notes of orange, Chinese black tea, pineapple, and spicy oak. It is all finesse, with honey, medium to full body, gorgeous delineation, and refreshing underlying acidity. It should drink well young. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020." (04/00)
90 Pts Wine Spectator	"Pretty and fresh, with lemon, honey, meringue and pineapple character. Medium-bodied and medium sweet, with a long, fresh finish. Best after 2001." (01/00)

Description:

"Lively coppery gold. Very arresting characterful whistle-clean nose. Very pure, youthful, exuberant fruit. Very young but already exhibiting great layers of interest. A very successful wine. Drink from 2007 to 2020. -JR" (12/05) - 18 out of 20 Points, Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages.

Wine:
"Straw colored (still ageing in barrel), the wine displays lovely aromatic notes of very ripe white fruits such peach, nectarine, and pear on the nose. On the palate, the wine becomes round and smooth, with an excellent balance between freshness and alcohol, yet displaying a medium body, graced with finesse. The retro-olfaction is elegant and marked by exotic fruits, and a tinge of spices (mild spices and nutmeg). The finish is long and pleasant, with more freshness and charm than power, typical of a year with a difficult climate. The cool Barsac terroir enabled this wine to preserve the estate's typicity."

"Chateau Coutet benefits from an exceptional terroir. The vines' deep roots extract elements from a limestone and clay-based soil, giving the grapes freshness, richness and strength. For this reason the wine carries the name "Coutet," derived from the Gascon's word for knife, to signify the fresh, lively and crisp palate that is the estate's signature style. In their youth, the property's wines display generous notes of white flowers, citrus fruits, honey and vanilla. Time brings out deeper, warmer notes in which spices combine with exotic nectars and candied fruits. Age also enhances the harmony of its roasted Botrytis character and its distinct aromas to give Chateau Coutet a delicate and unique bouquet that is unsurpassed." - Winery
