About Château Coutet Cuvée Madame 1988
Bottle (75cl)

The Cuvée Madame du Chateau Coutet is a wine from the Barsac appellation produced only in the best vintages. It is composed of a 100% Semillon blend harvested in the heart of Barsac in the AOC Sauternes.

The Chateau Coutet Cuvée Madame represents, with the great Yquem, the quintessence of the Sauternes appellation. It demonstrates the level of excellence that a great mellow wine can achieve.

The Cuvée Madame 1988 is adorned with a magnificent light and translucent amber colour with golden highlights.
This cuvée reveals an intense and deep bouquet of honeyed summer fruit such as apricot and white peach, wrapped in woody notes of new oak and smoke. On the second nose, secondary scents develop and release notes of coconut and crème brulée.
On the palate, Château Coutet Cuvée Madame 1988 offers multiple layers of aromatic richness of ripe white fruit (peach, apricot and pear) accompanied by a gourmet note of crème brulée. Full-bodied, balanced and endowed with a beautiful acidity, Château Coutet Cuvée Madame 1988 is one of the greatest Sauternes wines ever produced.
