Château Coutet Cuvée Madame 2003

France / Bordeaux / Graves / Sauternes / Barsac

Thomas Jefferson praised Château Coutet as the best Sauternes from Barsac. And to this day, one of the best Barsac is produced year after year on this winery. With an average age of 35 years, the vines have developed deep roots to extract nutrients from the calcareous and clayey terroir, giving the grapes freshness, complexity and power. For this reason, the wine is named "Coutet", derived from the Gascon word for knife, to describe the fresh, lively and crisp taste that defines the winery's style. A particular specialty is the "Cuvée Madame", which is made from the Tête de Cuvée (must from the first pressing) in very small quantities.
