"The 2023 Château Coutet is another decadent, powerful Barsac in the vintage. Honeyed orange, toasted spices, sautéed pineapple, and assorted tropical, floral notes all just about jump from the glass, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with a wealth of fruit, good acidity, and a great finish."
— Jeb Dunnuck

"A Barsac with dried-apple, apricot and spice character. The botrytis comes through with a healthy and clean nature to it. Medium-bodied and medium-sweet with a spicy finish."
— James Suckling

"The 2023 Coutet is stellar. Soaring aromatics and bright acids drive through a core of lemon cont, apricot, mint, spice, passion fruit and pineapple. The interplay of deep, layered flavors and energy is so compelling.
— Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2023 Coutet has a tightly-wound bouquet that demands more coaxing than its peers. It typically already possesses laser-sharp focus and is less flamboyant than fellow Barsacs, underpinned and sharpened by its limestone soils. The palate is well balanced with intense botrytised fruit, lightly spiced dried honey and orange rind notes, just a hint of apricot in the background, stretching out on the finish that lingers on the tongue. A very fine contribution to the vintage that should age well in bottle."
— Neal Martin, Vinous
