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 La Varière, Bonnezeaux Les Melleresses, - 50cl 2009
The Château La Varière Bonnezeaux Les Melleresses boasts a beautifully ripe and concentrated nose, intertwining aromas of citrus, tropical fruits, and sweet spices. On the palate, it offers remarkable richness and harmony, with a luscious, weighty texture and a youthful restraint that promises great aging potential. Flavours of candied peel, dried apricot, and quince take center stage, balanced by a vibrant and refreshing acidity that offsets its sweetness. Deliciously indulgent now, this wine will continue to evolve, offering even greater complexity and enjoyment in the years to come.
