Les Frères de la Côte Père Labat Sélection Les Frères de la Côte 2017
One taster went in with low expectations and came out pleasantly surprised — that's the mood here. Fresh cane, citrus that leans toward lemon and mandarin, a floral honey note and pepper underneath. At 59% the alcohol is loud and gives it real "peps," though a couple of members wish it were better integrated. The finish runs short. Drinks almost like a ready-made Ti Punch.

How does Les Frères de la Côte Père Labat Sélection Les Frères de la Côte 2017 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fresh, citrusy cask-strength agricole A young Marie-Galante agricole that wins people over on freshness and citrus. Most call it good rather than top-shelf — hot up front, short on the finish.

Blind buy at a small dealer in Lyon. Allegedly shipped to Europe by sailing ship. On the nose still a bit reserved, classic young Agricole. On the palate a bit fuller, grassy and spicy profile. The alcohol could be a bit better integrated. (Oct 25)
Review by Gregor
Nose: Sweet, viscous honey; floral, grass, sugarcane. Palate: like the nose, a bit of lime, almost like a Ti Punch, not insanely complex but good, alcohol pleasant despite almost 60%.
Review by BnBrt
Very nice discovery, I had little expectation and I am very pleasantly surprised. Enticing nose even if not very enveloping. Very fresh with citrus notes, almost yuzu lemon. Quite a strong attack, the alcohol is very present, I find it gives pep always on a background of acidity. A bit of spice on a pepper background. Short finish, a bit of a pity but still a very nice experience.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2017. With 8.3 out of 10 it's a very good bottle, though not the top of my ranking.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Very indulgent with citrus of lemon and mandarin, a nice freshness of cane while having a beautiful roundness.
