Critics Ratings

'Offers fascinating aromas of cooked apple, clove and honey that follow through to a full body, with super lively acidity and spicy blanched almond and honey character on the palate. Long and powerful, showing amazing botrytis character, with so much spice and richness, yet also freshness. Even better than the superb 2006.' - Wine Spectator, 95/100 (Mar 2010)

'Tasted single blind against its peers. The Chateau Coutet 2007 has a very intense bouquet with lemon curd and orange blossom mixed with clear honey. There is impressive precision here, almost crystalline. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine viscous entry, great weight and intensity with racy acidity. There is also much tension cutting through the layers of viscous fruit on the sorbet-like finish. This is a typical Coutet through and through and it should age effortlessly over 20-30 years.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (Feb 2012)

'The aromas are intensely sweet, full of orange marmalade and honey. The palate goes more for spice, with oranges and brown sugar allied to fresh fruits, apricots and lychees. The final flavors are delicious and enticing.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 93/100 (Jun 2010)
