The Chateau Coutet 1995 Cuvée Madame, picked on October 4 and delivering 145 grams per liter of residual sugar (the lowest of the last four vintages), has a very pure, almost Tokaji-like bouquet with marmalade, lime flower, lanolin and dried honey. The palate is unctuous on the entry with impressive presence in the mouth with notes of Manuka honey dallying with marmalade and dried apricot. It is quite linear toward the finish, very nicely focused with orange rind and honey. This is a powerful Cuvée Madame that will age for decades.
