A Premier Grand Cru Classé of 1855, is a cornerstone of the Barsac appellation and one of the oldest vineyards in Sauternes. With roots reaching back to the 13th century and a winemaking legacy established in the 17th, the estate is renowned for producing sweet wines of exceptional finesse.

Its cool, limestone-rich soils contribute to a signature style defined by precision, freshness, and elegance—qualities further elevated since 1977 under the ownership of the Baly family, in partnership with Baron Philippe de Rothschild.

Critic Scores

97 // Jane Anson

"Delivers texture and flesh, love the aromatics that are sweet without being heavy, this has restraint and carefully-measured fleshy fruits, nectarine, pineapple, white peaches, lime zest, gunsmoke, perfectly-judged acidities. One of the wines of the vintage, great stuff from Philippe and Aline Baly. - Jane Anson"

96 // Falstaff

"Medium yellow gold, silver reflections. Fresh tropical fruit, white fruit, floral touch, fine blossom honey, pleasant meadow herb spice. Juicy, silky and elegant, ripe peach, fresh structure, lingers for a long time, a promise for the future. - Peter Moser"

96 // Vinous

"The 2024 Coutet was picked over six tries although the final ones were not used with 134 g/L residual sugar this year. It has quite an intense bouquet with beautifully defined lemon thyme and light peach aromas. The palate is well balanced with a vivacious opening, lively apricot and quince notes and concentration effortlessly offset by the silver thread of acidity. Composed and persistent on the finish, this is a superb Coutet. - Neal Martin"

96 // Vinous

"The 2024 Coutet is a dense, voluptuous Sauternes. Orange peel, apricot jam, passion fruit, pineapple and white flowers convey tons of exoticism. Ample and resonant on the palate, with superb depth, Coutet is outstanding in 2024. - Antonio Galloni"

96 // Alexandre Ma

"Château Coutet gently refines its familiar mandarin aroma into the delicate fragrance of candied mandarin peel. Crisp lemon tart, the sweet richness of pineapple pastry, and the purity of dried apricot join in, creating a bouquet that brings effortless delight. Each breath brings joy. Acidity runs strikingly high this year, and the sugar is equally generous, yet on the palate, they meet in a balance so vivid it takes you by surprise. The success of the vintage owes much to a rare stretch of dry weather during the botrytis season. That precious window allowed Coutet 2024 to achieve exceptional purity and concentration, fully expressing the character of its clay-limestone soils. - Alexandre Ma"

Chateau Coutet

The best Sauternes from Barsac, as rated by US President Thomas Jefferson in 1787, Chateau Coutet has a long-standing record of excellence. The winery's exceptional terroir benefits from old vines with exceptionally deep roots that concentrate the flavours of the fruit. The signature misty microclimate and noble rot of the Sauternes region thrives at Chateau Coutet.

Chateau Coutet has a rich architectural and regional history. The winery itself is an English fortress built in the 13th Century, and has been a winemaking estate in 1643. Rated as 1er Cru since 1855, this is the oldest and largest estate in the Barsac region.

Typically, a Chateau Coutet wine offers generous notes of honey, flowers, citrus and vanilla, with warm notes of spice, nuts and candied fruits developing over time.
