Château Coutet 2004

First-growth Barsac from the legendary 2004 vintage — two full decades of bottle age, ready to pour now.

Château Coutet is the largest and one of the most historic estates in Barsac, a Premier Cru Classé in the 1855 classification. This is a mature 2004 with twenty years behind it — the point at which great Barsac trades primary sweetness for the honeyed, marmalade complexity that only time delivers.

Aged first-growth Sauternes-Barsac is one of the great values in mature wine, and finding it already cellared is rarer still. Cellared and ready at $69.99 → you're skipping twenty years of patience → this is first-growth Barsac drinking in its mature window for under seventy dollars.

• Sémillon-led Barsac with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle
• Premier Cru Classé (1855), the benchmark estate of Barsac
• Two decades of bottle age — drinking in its mature window
• Botrytis-driven, honeyed and complex

A first-growth Barsac with twenty years in bottle, ready the moment you pull the cork — gorgeous with foie gras, blue cheese, or simply on its own. Exactly the bottle for anyone who thinks they don't have the patience for great sweet wine.
