Château Coutet - Cuvée Madame 1er Grand Cru Classé 1986

La «cuvée»

Created in 1922, this very special cuvée is produced on plots of mainly clay soil, from vines of over 40 years. Ageing lasts for almost three years in barrels. This is a rich wine with exceptional complexity.

One of the oldest estates in Sauternais, the Château Coutet vineyard is also the largest in Barsac. Its soil is even, made up of fine gravel, calcareous silt and alluvium deposited by the Garonne. The estate also produces a creamy wine with incredible richness: the Cuvée Madame (production limited to 1,200 bottles in the best vintages) which rivals the Château d'Yquem. Its wines are well-crafted and characteristic, with fantastic creaminess and intense notes of citrus fruits, tropical fruits and honey.
