1. Chateau Coutet, Barsac-Sauternes
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 27 reviews
An English fortress built in the 13th Century, this citadel became a wine producing estate in 1643. Previously owned by the Lur-Saluces family, the property was home to Chateau d'Yquem's horse stables, transformed in the late 19th Century into a 110-meter long cellar. Vertical wine presses from the 1920s, a 14th Century chapel and a Bordeaux cobblestone courtyard are a testament to the estate's rich architectural and regional history. The Château Coutet vines' deep roots extract elements from its terroir to give the grapes freshness, richness and strength. For this reason the estate carries the name "Coutet," derived from the Gascon's word for knife, to signify the fresh, lively and crisp palate that is the wine's signature style.

We set up a visit at the last minute, and Madhura was able to accommodate us with a visit into the vineyards, a tour of the cave, and a tasting. Despite fact that we have been coming to France for years more numerable to count, our French is limited and we appreciated Madhura’s excellent English and knowledge of both the history and winemaking of the domaine. Enjoyed our tasting and having tasted different Sauternes since than, these were hands-down the best. Definitely worth a visit, and also worthwhile to call ahead.
