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.
The community says- Dark choc & cherry
- Winey grappa note
- But: Cask impact unclear

Aggregated from 21 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.

Most helpful positive review
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!

Review by Djehey
Edit: après un long moment, le rhum c'est bien oxydé, et ainsi arrondi. Le kumquat à fait place à la confiture d'orange avec un boisé et des épices bien présente. Je ne suis pas certain de l'apport du fût de Chassagne. Ce rhum trouve un équilibre intéressant entre le chocolat noir et des arômes acidulés type kumquat. Un bon rhum mais beaucoup trop cher !

Salon Lycée Hôtelier : SoldOut Gourmand, tout de même un peu d'épices en fin de bouche, trop peu goûté et longueur moyenne basse. RQP pas intéressant.
