Recognized amongst the finest wines in its appellation, Chateau Coutet was classified a First Growth in 1855. One of the oldest estates in the Sauternes region, Coutet has an exceptional terroir and a rich architectural heritage. An English fortress in the 13th century, this citadel with its square tower, a design typical of the era's military construction, became a wine producing estate in 1643.

Chateau Coutet belonged to the de Lur Saluces family for over a century and currently is owned and managed by Philippe and Dominique Baly, with the technical and commercial collaboration of the Baron Philippe de Rothschild S.A., the vineyard's exclusive distributor.

The name Coutet comes from the Gascon word for knife ("couteau"), in reference to the wine's fresh, lively acidity and unique vivacity. In its youth, Chateau Coutet displays aromas of white flowers, citrus, honey, and vanilla. Age enhances the botrytis character to give the wines a deep, delicate bouquet with hints of spice and candied fruit.

Cuvée: 75% Sémilion, 23% Sauvignon Blanc, 2% Muscadelle
