Features
Ce domaine appartient à la famille David-Beaulieu depuis 400 ans. Celle-ci est restée sourde aux sirènes de la modernité dans les années 70 : elle a persévéré dans la tradition en n'utilisant pas de poudres de perlimpinpin vendues par les boîtes de phyto et d'oenologie. Le domaine a officialisé sa démarche bio en 2009 (premier millésime certifié : 2012).
La famille David-Beaulieu n'a pas l'air non plus tentée par le fameux classement de Saint-Émilion. Coutet pourrait prétendre au bas mot à l'appellation Grand Cru Classé, voire 1er Grand Cru Classé. Car l'emplacement du vignoble est l'un des plus beaux du secteur : les vignes sont plantées sur le plateau calcaire surplombant Angélus (1er GCC A) et jouxte Beau-Séjour Bécot (1er GCC).
L'encépagement est assez atypique : 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec
Dégustation : la robe est grenat sombre translucide. Le nez est fin, complexe, sur les petits fruits rouges et noirs, la prune, le pain grillé et les épices douces. La bouche est élancée, étirée par un fil invisible, tout en déployant une matière finement veloutée, caressante, au fruit légèrement patiné ponctué d'épices, avec une pointe de sous-bois. La finale, plus concentrée, offre une fine mâche subtilement crayeuse, sur la prune, le cassis, la truffet et le menthol; ce dernier persistant longuement.

What is an author wine?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
