Chantal Comte La Tour de l’Or 2001 Rhum

Technische Details

Verkostungsprofil

A rare single-cask Rhum Agricole from the La Mauny distillery in Martinique, this 2001 vintage expression by Chantal Comte arrives in characteristic deep mahogany hues. The nose opens with an exuberant burst of tropical and dark fruits, layered with the signature grassy, vegetal notes of fine Martinique agricole. On the palate, bold fruitiness gives way to earthy sugar cane, toasted oak, and a streak of warm spice. The finish is long, dry, and assertive, with lingering agricole character that rewards patience and contemplation.

Lebensmittel-Paarung

Pair with a dark chocolate fondant or a bitter 70% cacao bar — the rum’s fruity depth and dry finish create a sublime contrast. Equally compelling alongside a charcuterie board of aged hard cheeses and cured meats, where its earthy agricole character bridges savory and sweet.
