The Chantal Comte 2020 Cuvee Caribaea is a limited edition white agricultural rum with an alcohol volume of 50.3%, hailing from the AOC Martinique region. This exquisite rum embodies a collaboration between Chantal Comte and the renowned naturalist illustrator and researcher Cyril Girard, both passionately committed to the preservation of the Caribbean ecosystems. The production of this rum is limited to 2,500 bottles, and a portion of the profits will be donated to the Caribaea Initiative, an NGO dedicated to the conservation of these precious ecosystems.
Crafted from pure cane juice, this rum is distilled in a Creole column at the esteemed La Mauny distillery. Upon the first sip, it is soft on the palate, gradually revealing a well-worked, rounded rum that has patiently matured. The character of the cane comes through as full-bodied, serious, and mature, with a sweet juice accented by notes of pepper and lime.
The initial aromatic notes are reminiscent of cane confectionery, such as fruity candy or barley sugar with a touch of yellow lemon. After a few moments, the lemon evolves to a greener and more exotic profile, introducing the fresh cane, much like a freshly made ti'punch.
With aeration, the aroma shifts predominantly to fresh cane, complemented by a hint of bagasse and pepper, imparting an almost tannic quality. Subtle notes of fermentation linger in the background, ensuring a vibrant and lively profile.
Yes, it is considered well-priced compared to the quality you receive. It offers a fresh and subtle profile with good ABV integration.
The aroma features fresh notes of lime and lemon, mingled with pastries, peppery, floral elements, and sugarcane.
The taste is characterized by fresh lime and lemon, a velvety texture, peppery spices, citrus, vegetal undertones, and a rounded sugarcane sweetness.
The finish is fresh with lingering notes of lime and sugarcane, balanced and slightly oily.
While the rum is highly praised, some consider the price a bit high for this type of product.
Chantal Comte has once again produced an outstanding rum. The 2020 Cuvee Caribaea stands out with its fresh and subtle profile that integrates the ABV well. It is fruity with nice cane and a delightful nose. The empty glass retains pleasant peppery and grassy notes. However, some find the price a bit high for a white rum, though it is still a superb choice for those who appreciate a fresh and lively cane-dominated rum.
