MORE ABOUT THIS LOT:


VIP experience for four people at Château Coutet, First Classified Growth in Barsac


Traced back to 1643, Château Coutet is one of the oldest vineyards in Bordeaux's gold wine region, featuring an outstanding architectural heritage dating back to the 13th century. This First Classified Growth is renowned for its elegant wines, embodying the finesse of a great Sauternes from Barsac. The name “Coutet,” derived from the Gascon word for knife, reflects the wine’s distinctive freshness and minerality.


This exclusive experience includes a private tour of the estate for four guests, followed by a tasting of its acclaimed wines and a gourmet lunch or dinner with wine pairings featuring the "Grand Vin", the dry white "Opalie' and the rare reserve "La Cuvée Madame"—hosted by co-owner Aline Baly.
