Château Coutet Sauternes-Barsac 2021
The 2021 Château Coutet Sauternes-Barsac is a beautifully poised and vibrant sweet wine, showing the freshness and finesse that define great Barsac. The nose opens with bright citrus, candied peel, apricot and white peach, lifted by hints of honeysuckle and saffron. On the palate, it strikes a lovely balance between richness and energy: luscious stone-fruit flavours supported by Barsac’s trademark mineral tension, giving the wine a long, precise and almost crystalline finish. Situated in the Barsac appellation, Château Coutet produces sublime sweet wines, reflecting the estate's dedication to organic viticulture and traditional winemaking. In 2021, this approach shines through - the wine is elegant rather than heavy, with purity of fruit and a refreshing backbone that makes it as compelling with food as it is on its own.
Château Dereszla, Henye Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos, - 50cl 2017
Many of the world's great sweet whites come from Tokaj in Hungary, which for centuries was known as the "Wine of Kings, King of Wines". Château Dereszla is one of the region's most iconic producers and their Henye Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos 2017, crafted from carefully selected botrytized grapes, showcases the exceptional terroir of the Henye vineyard. Puttonyos refers to the amount of residual sugar in the wine - the higher the better, ranging from 3 to 6 - though this is extra special, having been made from the revered Aszu grapes, reserved only for the greatest Tokaji, including the famous "Tokaji Eszencia". Expect an intricate bouquet of dried apricots, honey, and delicate floral notes, with a balanced acidity that complements its rich sweetness. This would pair beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, or fruity desserts.
