Château Coutet

One of the best visits I’ve ever done. This is an incredible property filled with history, passion, and care. I loved learning about their production and their respect for the ancestral land where they make some beautiful wines. Agnes is an amazing guide!

We had a wonderful experience visiting Coutet! Our guide was very knowledgable, engaging, and truly passionate. We have been on many wine tours/tastings before but this is one that will stay with us. We would highly recommend. The walk from Saint Emilion to the vineyard through other vineyards is an added bonus!

A highly recommended experience. It is a unique, family-run winery with a lot to offer. Our reservation was cancelled but we hadn't realised, but they still found a way to show us the area in a very pleasant way. A very nice family and place. Thank you very much!!

Chateau Coutet was our second stop in Saint-Emilion, and it did not disappoint. Our guide, Agnes (please forgive me if I’ve misspelled her name), was warm and knowledgeable, with a genuine passion for wine that was immediately apparent. Her global experience in the wine industry has given her a unique perspective on winemaking, which she eagerly shared with us during the tour. As Agnes explained, Chateau Coutet is deeply committed to organic and natural winemaking. The estate strives for ecological balance in every aspect of its production. For example, they plant trees to protect against insects and birds, and they allow their fields to remain wild with minimal soil disturbance, only turning the soil when absolutely necessary. One interesting fact about Chateau Coutet is that they own the oldest bottle of wine in Bordeaux. Discovered buried on the property, it features a glass cork that is hermetically sealed, and although it may still be drinkable, the winery has vowed never to open it. However, they have recreated the bottle with a glass cap, and visitors can purchase this replica at the winery. Now, I know some of you might be skeptical about “natural” or “organic” wines, worrying they might be prone to spoilage or other issues. While the risk of spoilage can increase with more natural methods, I’m happy to say that Chateau Coutet manages these risks exceptionally well. Their wines were fantastic—fruit-forward with a subtle touch of oak. Our favorite was the Les Demoiselles, which is made entirely without electricity. If you're in Saint-Emilion, Chateau Coutet is a must-visit. It's a wonderful introduction to a family-run winery that treats its terroir with deep respect and reverence. This boutique winery is definitely worth the stop!

A brilliant tour conducted by Agnes. Her passion and knowledge really made the day. Coutet is a beautifully peaceful place with an enormously interesting history and Agnes really helped us learn so much about the grape growing and wine making process. A super visit thanks

A lovely chateau with people passionate about what they do and committed to producing great wine. Highly recommended for a visit.

My husband and I visited Coutet as a stop on our honeymoon. Incredible experience! Even on a rainy day, the tour was lovely. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and this chateau’s history and traditional approach to wine making were much more interesting/less touristy than others in the area. The wine is a fantastic value for the quality as well. Highly recommend!

Exceptional guided tour, conducted by Aignes. He showed us the property and the entire wine production process, with great kindness and friendliness. 100% recommended.

Very good experience and complete explanations. The castle maintains ancient and traditional processes that allow them to create excellent wines. I recommend the visit!

Highly recommended!! We visited the winery, our guide was Aignes, who also gave us the tour in Spanish, and we loved it! A small, family-run winery, you can see the enthusiasm with which they prepare the entire winemaking process, which by the way is delicious!

Very good experience. Visit in Spanish. Aignes showed us the vineyard and the winery with passion.

It is a splendid place where the owners are passionate from generation to generation. We traveled back in time where ecology, new technologies and biodiversity are at the heart of wine production. Their wines are fine. To see, to taste, to visit. Everything is beautiful and good

Top visit with Lisa-Marie; warm, professional, adorable welcome. Beautiful tasting of 2 great wines. Best of luck to Lisa-Marie and her family 😊

Incredible place. You can feel the care, the dedication and the great desire to create something of quality inside the estate. The visit is very suggestive and full of notions to treasure. The girl who accompanied us on the visit immerses visitors in the passion that runs through her. If you have the opportunity go there because it is really worth admiring even this small winery even if it is not as famous as the nearby Angelus. Very good!

Very warm welcome. Visit with Georges. Superb explanations on the techniques. Very beautiful castle with a beautiful history and great family spirit. Thank you, we will come back with pleasure.

Excellent...we booked the tour and we walked to Chateau Coutet. The path to the chateau is magnificent, surrounded by vineyards and large houses, where you can take beautiful photos. It took us about twenty minutes to do so. When we arrived at the chateau, we were greeted by a young guide who gave us a great tour and explained and answered our questions about the vineyard, the winemaking process, and the family history. Great guide, I recommend taking the tour. At the end, we tasted the wines produced by the chateau. There is a shop where we can buy wines.

Extraordinary! The place is magnificent, with a superb view, a beautiful building, in the middle of vineyards and centuries-old trees. Come and meet passionate people, concerned about quality and respect for biodiversity, with an incredible history. You will definitely have an unforgettable time!

Excellent way to see the process of a small winery run by the same family for 14 generations.

Very pleasant visit, the person in charge of the visit, despite having only been working there for a short time, was super friendly, gave clear explanations and answered all the various questions I had. We had a great class on the production of a grand cru. Family production with over 400 years of history. The wine we tasted was very good and made us buy a bottle. Thank you for the welcome!
