Opalie de Coutet: Barsac's Grand Vin Blanc Sec

Hailing from the esteemed Château Coutet, a 1er Cru Classé estate, Opalie de Coutet is their rare and exceptional dry white Bordeaux. It is a striking alternative expression of the Barsac terroir, where old-vine Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc are meticulously blended to create a wine of profound complexity, richness, and mineral tension. Its limited production ensures its status as a luxury wine for the discerning palate.

Tasting Notes (Reference Vintage)

• Appearance: A clear, luminous pale gold.
• Aroma: A highly aromatic bouquet of lemon zest, honeysuckle, Conference pear, and subtle stone fruits, evolving into earthy and mineral notes from its clay-limestone origins.
• Taste: The palate is beautifully structured-tangy, concentrated, and medium-bodied. It delivers a wonderful balance between the wine’s vibrant acidity and a silky, enveloping mouthfeel, culminating in a long, refreshing, and saline finish.

Food Pairing & Service

A wine of this calibre demands top-tier food. Decanting is recommended to allow the complex aromas to fully develop. Serve cool (10-12°C) alongside classic British or European fine cuisine.
