95-97+ THE WINEADVOCATE: "The pale lemon-gold colored 2019 Coutet is a thrill ride from the get-go, exploding from the glass with fantastically intense scents of tangerine peel, lime blossoms and lemon marmalade over a core of pineapple upside-down cake, candied ginger, ripe apricots and clover honey plus suggestions of chanterelles and musk perfume. The palate is equally electric and exhilarating, prancing around the palate with a whole myriad of candied citrus, stone fruit and citrus flavors, charged by a racy backbone of acidity, finishing beautifully textured and with an epically long firework display of minerals. Apart from all that, it is pretty darn delicious."
96 FALSTAFF: "Mittleres Goldgelb, Silberreflexe. Einladende gelbe Pfirsichfrucht, zart nach Honig und Mandarinenzesten, zart nach Ingwer, feine Holzwürze ist unterlegt. Saftig, kraftvoll, reife Marille, frische Säurestuktur, mineralisch und anhaftend, gut eingebundene Süße, präziser Stil, großes Zukunftspotenzial."
18 WEINWISSER: "75?% Sémillon, 23?% Sauvignon Blanc, 2?% Muscadelle. Goldgelb milchig mit grünen Reflexen. Intensives Bouquet mit frischem Lindenblütenhonig, Quittengelee und Marokkominze. Am sirupartigen Gaumen mit karamellartigem Extrakt und bulligem Körper. Im aromatischen nicht enden wollenden Finale eingelegte Birnen und Orangenzesten."
17,5 JANCIS ROBINSON: "Cloudy. Bitter-orange citrus notes on the nose and palate. Extremely pure, the fruit and texture suave and gourmand. Zesty and long at the same time with a tangy, botrytised note on the finish. Lovely weight and balance. (JL)"
97 DECANTER: "Intense exotic fruits abound, powerful apricot, nectarine, white flowers and white truffles with excellent bitter almonds on the finish that works so well as a counterpoint to the luxurious texture. I love this, silky and seductive yet strict. Philippe Dhalluin of Mouton does the blend here since 2009 along with the family."
94-95 JAMES SUCKLING: " A sweet, dense and rich white with oily character. Full and layered. Extremely long. Spicy. Very dense."
94-96 ANTONIO GALLONI: "The 2019 Coutet has a luscious bouquet with scents of dried honey, honeysuckle and orange pith, intense and well defined. The palate is built around Coutet´s trademark line of acidity, an underlying zestiness cutting through the unctuous honeyed fruit with a welcome orange rind and marmalade note on the persistent finish. Excellent." - Neal Martin
92-94 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Orange blossoms, honey, cinnamon spice, creme brulee, pineapple and candied apricots create the perfume. On the palate, the wine pops with honey-drenched pineapple, mango and orange marmalade. As sweet as this is, there is ample freshness to keep everything lifted."
