- Producer tasting notes: (2007 vintage) "It comes out amber in colour, with a nose offering a wide array of floral, fruity and mineral notes. Highly refined, it is just as intense on the palate, where spice and fresh and candied fruit flavours intermingle. The scintillating experience extends into the freshness on the finish, the unmistakable hallmark of the Barsac terroir." - Chateau Coutet - Barsac

About the Product

Producer Notes: It started as a gift from the vinegrowers to honour Madame Rolland-Guy, owner of the estate until 1977. They used to dedicate a day's work to her, during which they would pick the most raisined grapes. The Baly family continues to uphold that tradition in order to celebrate the complexity and richness of the terroir. However, it is a gift which nature offers only in certain vintages capable of revealing such extraordinary concentration and such an array of aromas and flavours.
Drinking Window: 2023-2070

Winemaking: The selection process is painstaking as each grape is picked one-by-one by hand. Further sorting takes place at the wine press and damaged grapes are eliminated immediately. The unfermented grape juice is quite rich, with 22 to 26 degrees of potential alcohol. A single, light pressing (at less than 180 kg/cm2) produces a clear, limpid juice. Alcohol fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels. The large amount of natural sugar forces the yeast to work slowly and develop secondary aromas that will contribute to the wine’s complexity. Once this hard work is done, the wine is aged in barrels for three years before bottling.

Ageing: Selected barrels in which the wine will spend three years maturing.
Producer Tasting Notes: It comes out amber in colour, with a nose offering a wide array of floral, fruity and mineral notes. Highly refined, it is just as intense on the palate, where spice and fresh and candied fruit flavours intermingle. The scintillating experience extends into the freshness on the finish, the unmistakable hallmark of the Barsac terroir.

2007 Chateau Coutet Cuvee Madame, Sauternes - Barsac, France

2007 Vintage: Sauternes Learn more

Vintage quality: Excellent

Current condition: Ready to drink, will keep

The 2007 vintage for Sauternes was excellent.

Unlike dry Bordeaux, both Sauternes and Barsac benefited from the damp growing season. Despite an unnervingly warm April, spring was a damp drab affair that disrupted both budburst and flowering. The lack of s...
