Château Coutet, Barsac premier cru classé 375 ml half bottle 2017Pale gold in colour, the 2017 offers aromas of lime, lemon and peach, with hints of ginger and white flowers. The energetic freshness of the palate is characterized by lively citrus notes before a rich mid palate that is sustained into a long finish where generosity and zest are kept in perfect balance. This is something of a triumph from a vintage where the weather was only very occasionally on the vignerons' side.
