What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Chateau Coutet 2017 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a 2017 other wine made from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon in Bordeaux, France.
Typical grape profile: Sauvignon Blanc — Zesty citrus, gooseberry, cut grass; often unoaked and refreshing; Semillon — Waxy, honeyed and lanolin-like young; capable of legendary sweet wines (Sauternes) with noble rot. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.
The vineyard evidence
No verified vineyard or named parcel is linked yet. BottlePicker therefore does not assign a soil, elevation or site temperature to this bottle from its regional name alone.
Soil structure and vine density
No site-specific soil or planting-density record is available for this bottle.
Growing-temperature context
For general cultivar-level heat guidance, see the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon growing profiles. BottlePicker does not apply a generic range to this bottle without a verified vineyard link.
Official geographic-register context
What the official register confirms about Bordeaux
BottlePicker found an exact region-name match in an official wine or spirits register. This establishes useful regional context; it does not by itself prove that this particular bottle is entitled to the designation. Check the producer label and specification for that claim.

Cellar for up to 15 years. Serve chilled. Ranked as a Grand Cru Classe estate by the 1855 Classification, Chateau Coutet is one of the top producers in the Barsac sub-region of Sauternes. Barsac is famed for its lusciously sweet dessert wines thanks to the nearby Ciron River, relatively flat land and light gravel soils. These conditions produce rich autumn fogs which promote the growth of so-called “noble rot”, a type of fungus which helps to raise the sugar concentration in the grapes by piercing their skins and allowing water to evaporate. This majestic bottling from Chateau Coutet is primarily composed of Semillon along with a smaller proportion of Sauvignon Blanc and a dash of Muscadelle. The grapes are picked late, giving them time to become infected with noble rot and to create a rich dessert wine with high residual sugar levels. The young wine is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months to add subtle toasted notes and extra complexity. This is an excellent wine to hold in the cellar for another decade or so since it still has significant potential for evolution and maturation. If you do choose to drink it now, the intense sweetness makes a great partner for foie gras, blue cheeses, or rich chocolate or fruit desserts.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
