Critic reviews
"The 2025 Coutet is a little more backward on the nose than usual, less giving. But there is wonderful purity of fruit, lemon thyme and clementine scents, touches of white flower. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous entry, playing with Coutet's trademark thread of acidity that emanates from the limestone soils. Quite minerally and spicy on the aftertaste, this is a marvellous Barsac from the Baly family."
Neal Martin, May 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2025 Coutet is redolent of burnt sugar, crème brûlée, spice, passion fruit and candied ginger. Always quite rich texturally, Coutet blossoms beautifully on the palate with plenty of textural presence and body. It's a gorgeous wine by any measure. Tasted two times."
Antonio Galloni, April 2026, Vinous.com
"This is round and concentrated, with incisive acidity providing balance. Full-bodied and attractive in its power, with just enough freshness to hold it together."
James Suckling, April 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"One of my go to Barsacs, in this vintage showing intensely sweet pineapple, bitter almond, fennel, blood orange, tarte tartin. There is grip here, but it is one for lovers of opulence. Tasted twice, 25% new oak."
Jane Anson, April 2026, JaneAnson.com
"Really fragrant and aromatic peach and pear notes on the nose and palate. Round, sweet, luscious and energetic, this has such a lovely presence in the mouth – ripe, forward, alive and sweet – orange juice, pineapple, mango and peaches. Lovely bitter tang on the finish too. Very assured."
