Chateau Coutet 2014 - Case of 6 Bottles (75cl)The Chteau Coutet 2014 delivers cue the drumroll a whopping 162 grams per liter of residual sugar, the highest level of any Sauternes that I have data for. As you would expect, the total acidity is slightly, but not dramatically lower than its peers at 3. 9 grams per liter (compared to say, 4. 3 grams per liter at Doisy Dane.) This Coutet '14 has a complex bouquet with razor sharp, minerally, citrus fruit mixed with wild honey and a touch of Riesling
