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.
La Giaretta, Recioto Classico, - 50cl 2021
Recioto is a luscious sweet wine made from the same grapes as Amarone della Valpolicella—Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella—but with a twist. The grapes are left to dry on wooden racks until March, allowing for an extra level of concentration in the must. After two years of ageing in small French oak barrels, followed by further refinement in bottle, the result is a rich, full-bodied wine with a deep ruby hue and intense aromas of cherry compote. It’s a perfect match for traditional Venetian treats like almond biscuits or buttery shortcrust pastries—and it pairs beautifully with dark chocolate too. Best enjoyed at 18°C.
