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.
Clemens Busch, Marienburg Auslese Riesling 2023
The Marienburg vineyard sits in the Mosel, with steep, south-facing slopes that maximise sunlight in a cool climate. Its blue and grey slate soils store heat and reflect it back to the vines, allowing grapes to ripen slowly while preserving the region’s signature acidity and mineral tension. An Auslese is made from individually selected, very ripe bunches, often with a touch of noble botrytis. This careful hand-harvesting concentrates flavour and sweetness, while Mosel’s cool conditions keep the wine fresh and precise — resulting in a sweet Riesling that is rich yet beautifully balanced, with vivid fruit, lift and crystalline clarity.
