CHATEAU COUTET
Coutet does produce a tiny amount of incredibly rich, unctuous wine that is rarely ever seen commercially but is worth mentioning because it is one of the region's two finest wines (the other, of course, being Yquem). In certain vintages Coutet produced a special cuve called Cuve Madame. Between 1943 and 1997 it was produced only in 1943, 1949, 1950, 1959, 1971, 1975, 1981, 1986, and 1989. Approximately 1200 bottles- or just 4 barrels- of this wine are made, and should you see any, do not hesitate to try it, because the Cuve Madame of Coutet is pure nectar. The 1971, 1981, 1986, 1988, and 1989 vintages of Cuve Madame, along with the 1921 Yquem represent the greatest sweet wines from this region I have ever tasted." Robert Parker, Bordeaux, Third Edition
