The fine wines from Chateau Coutet are concentrated and sweet with high levels of acidity to balance out the sweetness. While the wines are delicious when young, the true nature of an excellent Barsac like Chateau Coutet is only shown when the wines have many years of bottle age. These wines gain complexity and a lushness after a good vintage is stored for a decade or so. Coutet is especially known for the complex aromas it develops. It is important that storage conditions be proper for the life of the wine. Chateau Coutet is known for producing a very elegant and stylish dessert wine. It is rich and full bodied and has the aromas and flavors of stone fruits like peaches when young. The flavors of the young wine develop into a complex fabric of vanilla, honey and cinnamon after years of age. Recent vintages have shown very strong results. – Description from mriskic

    Actually, Chateau Coutet/Barsac/France paired 3 vintages of their lovely Barsac wine with Lobster Salad; results were stunning indeed!(Barsac is a sub-region of Sauternes and the wines are more edgy and mineral focused, than Sauternes.)By the way, I have served Sweedish Meatballs and Sauternes....wonderful!

    I'm planning a wine tasting of Botrytis wines and would like some non- sweet pairing suggestions. There was a post about a year ago on Tokaji pairing that had a few good ideas, such as, blue cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and foie gras. I'm looking for more of those types of suggestions from some of the foodie Snooths.  Read More
