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 Guiraud 2020
The 2020 vintage shows all the hallmarks of top Guiraud: luscious layers of apricot, candied citrus, and honeyed tropical fruit, lifted by ginger spice and a streak of freshness that keeps everything poised. Rich and opulent, yet beautifully balanced, it’s a classic Sauternes that will reward both patience and indulgence. Founded in 1766, Château Guiraud has always gone its own way, proudly displaying its black label and earning Premier Grand Cru Classé status in 1855. Today it’s one of Sauternes’ great names, known for combining tradition with innovation.
