Château Coutet
Chartreuse de Coutet Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend
Sauternes, Graves, Bordeaux, France
Consistent with notes from 20mo. prior, still delicious... Apricot++ tonight! So wonderful. Paired to a great NY cheddar, Adam's Reserve Extra Sharp, perfecto! 👍👍
Last bottle.
Nose has over-ripe apricot, almond oil, marzipan, meringue cookie and cold butter.
Palate has warmed apricot pie with extra flakey, buttery crust, sweet sand, white flower honey and mango.

Quite consistent with my notes from ~6 months ago:

Admittedly I love Sauternes and have many bottles, yet it's a rarity on opening and posting to the Community. We paired this bottle with a hard, smoked goat cheese from a local, Hudson valley producer, a solid match of sweet and salty.

Nose has ridiculous over-ripe apricot, almond oil, marzipan, meringue cookie and cold butter.
Palate has warmed apricot pie with extra flakey, buttery crust, sweet sand, white flower honey and green mango.
Just delicious, would pair well with an English, firm 🐄 cheese.
Great finish for Father's Day (2019).

On the Lawn at Tanglewood tonight to listen to Keith Lockhart conducting the Boston Pops live score E.T. The Extraterrestrial along with the film tonight.
A little almond and apricot, excellent balance on the sweetness and acidity. A little too cold tonight on the Lawn (57°F), but still half a bottle for follow-up on better climate controlled conditions.
