Tasting note

品飲筆記：2021 年古特展現出精緻而直接的風格，先以黑莓、紅櫻桃與淡雅花香打開，跟隨著香料與細緻的烘橡木氣息。口感中等偏豐滿，果汁感鮮明，酸度俐落為整體帶來清晰感，而紮實卻不粗糙的單寧讓酒體有條不紊地推進，尾韻帶有鹹香與緊緻礦感，收束悠長。 酒莊與田地：古特座落於聖埃美隆第一丘，距村莊僅半公里，2012 年取得有機認證。園內高密度栽植（約6000株/公頃），平均樹齡約38年，石質良好排水土壤與海拔優勢賦予葡萄集中度與優雅結構。 釀造工藝：採手工採收與嚴格篩選，沿用傳統不使用抽泵的釀造方法與人工踩踏，天然進行乳酸發酵。新舊橡木的使用平衡了果香與結構，經 18 個月在約半數新橡木桶中熟成，帶來必要的複雜性但不蓋過果味。 飲用建議：年輕時建議醒酒一小時，能更快顯露層次；亦適合中期陳釀至2030年代持續演繹。

Tasting note: Elegant and focused, this Saint-Émilion offers brambly black fruits and ripe cherry framed by floral lift and warm spice. Toasty oak from 18 months in 50% new barrels brings a subtle vanilla and cedar thread while bright acidity and fine-grained tannins give backbone and poise. The palate is medium-bodied and juicy, finishing long with a savory, mineral-tinged persistence. Producer notes: Chateau Coutet sits on the first hill of Saint-Émilion, half a kilometre from the village, and has been organically certified since 2012. Vines are planted at around 6,000 per hectare with an average age of 38 years, producing concentrated grapes reflective of the UNESCO-listed landscape. Winemaking notes: Grapes are hand-harvested, sorted and vinified using traditional, gentle methods — including pump-free vinification and manual treading. Malolactic fermentation is allowed to occur naturally in the estate’s well-balanced, historic cellar. The wine matures for 18 months in barrels with roughly half new oak, adding structure without overwhelming the fruit. Vineyard notes: Planted on stony, well-draining soils of the Mazerat hill, the vineyard benefits from elevation and proximity to the village. High-density planting and mature vines contribute to concentrated fruit and elegant tannic structure. Drinkability: approachable now with decanting, or cellar through 2045.

Winery

古特酒莊位於聖埃美隆第一丘，距村莊僅半公里，擁有優越的地塊與望族鄰居。現由 David Beaulieu 經營，2012 年起全面採有機栽培。園內高密度與成熟樹齡帶來果實集中度；釀造上保持傳統與手工操作——手採、免泵處理、自然乳酸發酵，加上謹慎使用新桶（約半數新橡木，熟成18個月），目標是呈現地塊的精緻與層次。

Chateau Coutet is a respected estate on the first hill of Saint-Émilion, half a kilometre from the village, and neighbours some of the appellation's top properties. Owned by David Beaulieu, the domaine converted to organic farming in 2012. High-density plantings, mature vines and a hands-on, traditional approach in the cellar—hand-harvest, pump-free vinification, natural malolactic—define their style, with careful oak use (18 months, ca. 50% new) to support elegance rather than dominate it.
