The 2020 Coutet has a pale lemon-gold color, which swirls from the glass with energetic notes of lemon tart, grapefruit, mango and lime with hints of chopped almonds, honey, candle wax and straw, plus a touch of sea spray. The palate has amazing balance, wrapped in a satiny texture and seamless acidity, with a long and mineral finish.
