How does Carrere Montebello LA RENCONTRE (Distillerie du Gorvello) 2015 taste?
Fruity pommeau-finished agricole standout
If you enjoy fruity agricoles like Montebello or lighter Savanna, this is a fun twist—the pommeau finish boosts apple and red fruits without hiding the cane character.
Those new to agricole or expecting heavy sweetness and vanilla-driven oak rather than fresh cane, apple and red-fruit notes.

Overall a great, round and smooth Agricole that’s very exciting because of the odd casks it has been finished in. This cuvée is the second La Rencontre that so far have reached Europe. Waiting excited for the four forthcoming. This one has after aged for about seven years been finished for 125 days in Pommeau de Bretagne casks from the Gorvello distillery. Pommeau is a blend of Calvados and apple cider at ABV 17%. It was distilled in August 2015 and bottled in just 1650 bottles in September 2022 as a cask strength at 49,1% blended from four barrels.
Nez très agricole. Un boisé sensible domine une pomme assez discrète. C'est fruité et rond. Le nez se confirme en bouche. La pomme est présente mais assez fondue et discrète. Le pommeau étant très sucré, je m'attendais à beaucoup plus d'influence. C'est très bien équilibré. Le boisé est bien présent. Ainsi que des notes poivrées. Finale moyennement longue avec une petite touche saline. Très jolie découverte. Belle réussite !
Nez très agricole. A l aveugle, je serais parti sur un bielle au vu des épices très similaires et un côté raisin sec. Un côté tarte tatin. La bouche est assez intense avec une belle profondeur. Ça me rappelle toujours bielle. Le finish est bien présent, mais pas à l excès, c est très bien fait. Alcool très bien intégré. Une finale tres longue avec une salinité agréable. Une belle reussite, alors Qu habituellement je ne suis pas fan d agricole.
Wisky Live 2023, session dégustation rapide ! Un peu moins sympa que le Menhir.
