Montebello LA RENCONTRE (Chassagne Montrachet) 2010
This agricole spends its last stretch in white-wine Chassagne-Montrachet casks, and it shows more than you'd expect — one taster likens it to an old grappa from Amarone barrels. Dark chocolate meets tart cherry and kumquat, with tobacco, raisin and a winey, spiced edge underneath. Elegant and easy to drink at 47%, though a few doubt the cask really adds much.

Summarized by AI from 20 community reviews.
Elegant agricole with a winey, grappa-like edge Well-liked as an elegant, wine-influenced agricole with a dark-chocolate-and-cherry core; a couple of tasters aren't sold on what the Chassagne cask actually contributes.

Basically a really elegant and tasty Agricole with a finish in fine wine barrels which is quite successful. Subtly reminiscent of old grappa from Amarone barrels with this spiciness, fruit, sweetness and at the same time a lot of barrel influence. Dark chocolate, sour cherry and tobacco are added on the finish. It's very easy to drink but I think € 260 is a bit excessive. Nevertheless, really tasty and successful!

Edit: after a long time, the rum has oxidized well and thus rounded. The kumquat has given way to orange jam with well-present woodiness and spices. I'm not sure about the contribution of the Chassagne barrel. This rum finds an interesting balance between dark chocolate and tangy aromas like kumquat. A good rum but way too expensive!

Bottle tasted on the occasion of sharing experiences from Guadeloupe and Marie Galante at La Casa de la Havana Vieja in Prague on 13.5.2026. Interesting stories from the distilleries were told by Martin Svojgr, Pavel Ungr, Lukáš Dvořák, and Martin Holuša.

Hotel School Salon: Sold Out Gourmet, still a bit of spices on the finish, tasted too little and medium-low length. QPR not interesting.
