Château Coutet, Opalie de Coutet 2020
On the palate the Opalie is lush yet bright, balancing creamy texture with vibrant acidity. Flavours of grapefruit, lemon zest, and stone fruits like peach and apricot are well-defined, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish with a whisper of oak from subtle barrel aging. This wine pairs excellently with seafood, poultry, creamy cheeses, or dishes with fresh herbs, and it should age gracefully, adding complexity as it matures. Opalie de Château Coutet is an alternative expression of Sémillon and Sauvignon in a fine dry white wine. Another vision of the clay-limestone soil of Barsac, traditionally known for its sweet wines, another balance to reveal its minerality. The grapes come from vines with an average age of 45 years, grown in selected plots.
Santenay Le Forge Blanc Jessaume 2022
From the far south of the Côte de Beaune, this fresh, floral white has almond aromas and a hint of spice. Pair it with creamy dishes, such as risotto, or hard cheeses.
