Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high acidity, sweet
The second wine of Château Coutet in Barsac, first made in 1977: a botrytised, barrel-fermented blend of mostly Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc and a little Muscadelle. Fresher and lighter than the grand vin and built for earlier drinking, with apricot, honey and candied citrus lifted by crisp acidity.
Serving: Serve at 8–10 °C.
