Rhum Chantal Comte Maison La Mauny La Tour De L‘Or 2001
Smells like a sweet molasses rum at first, then turns into a properly aged agricole on the palate: vanilla, noble oak, nutmeg and pepper, dried Christmas-cake fruit, coconut and tobacco, with surprising honeyed sweetness. Several tasters call it the best of the Tour de l'Or series and a "killer agricole." The catch sits in the glass: at 64.8% the alcohol is mostly tucked in, but a few feel it bites.
- Great alcohol integration
- Complex and balanced
- Long warm finish

How does Rhum Chantal Comte Maison La Mauny La Tour De L‘Or 2001 taste?
Aggregated from 107 community reviews.
Intense, complex aged agricole, big oak and spice Deeply loved as one of the finest aged Martinique agricoles people have tried, balancing oak, spice, fruit and honey. The main gripe: that 64.8% can dominate the palate for some.

Review by Oliver
Madness! A real killer agricole!
Review by Joachim Guger
Excellent Agricole, tastes slightly better to me than the 2006. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Intoxicating nose to enjoy. Barrel aging they can anyway perfectly in the French Antilles. I just tasted it with the Neisson 15 Ans Batch #2, it is very similar and equally good.
Review by cigares
A rum of which I had high expectations, yet which did not disappoint. Rodolphe told me it was one of his favorite rums. On the nose, a great sweetness, with fruit (pineapple, banana, passion fruit) and vegetal notes. The attack on the palate is smooth, with a beautiful aromatic palette. Everything's in place, it couldn't be better. Incredibly smooth, given the ABV. The finish is long and delicate, with a noble bitterness. A rum that ticks all the boxes. In direct comparison with the 2010, it seems fresher, with more fruit and flowers, but the finish is a little less long and complex.
Review by Rodolphe
I'm under the spell of the nose! Sumptuous, one could spend hours on it. On the palate, pepper and nutmeg, I'd say, as usual with agricultural wines. But citrus, yellow fruit and vanilla are not far off... If I were as hooked on the palate as on the nose, it would be 95! Excellent, for the moment the best agricole I've tasted. Thank you DrDjango!
Review by Jakob
Chocolate, nuts, dried fruit, barrel aromas - the nose offers an almost perfect reflection of the Agricole profile. On the palate, the spectrum of aromas remains largely identical, although the alcohol is more noticeable - which is why I consider the Chantal Comte bottling of the 2006 vintage to be a tick ahead of this release in my verdict. Both deliver top quality.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
With a medium to long finish this was the nights favorite. Fruity and woody from nose to finish with spice and a light floral touch. A bottle very hard to find but none the less a great one.
Review by Thunderbird
The best Agricole I've had so far! From nose to palate very complex and intense ... the finish is nice medium length and rounds out the taste experience! Wonderful Today for the 2nd ten times in the glass, thanks RumX calendar! The enthusiasm continues 😎
Review by zabo
Lucky day today, the second absolute top drop in the glass. After tasting Saint James yesterday, this one is already worlds away. Hell yesterday, heaven today. This is probably the closest comparison. Thank you Joachim for opening up the world of Agricole to me once again.
Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting: the alcohol is a little superficial but still an excellent rum, rating unchanged. Wow, this is once an intense column still rum! Nuts, spicy and fruity and sweetness associated with the fruit on the nose. And unmistakably Agricole! On the palate a lot of wood / barrel and bitter but still balanced. I'm not a big Agricole fan (so far) but I like this one from the start and it's one of my top 3 Agricole rums. Unfortunately, no longer readily available.
Review by Frank
This bottler has already bottled very good agricoles; and this one seems to be no exception. On the contrary! Nose: very intense, powerful and full-bodied. Clearly a mature agricole. Beautiful and clear wood acidity, oak and dark fruit, such as blackberry. Fine vanilla and leather with light tobacco. With apple, it also reminds me a little of old Calvados. The almost 65% is still cutting at the beginning, but also draws in a lot of aromas. The nose becomes more and more beautiful. 9,0 Palate: amazing! Intense, complex and full-bodied, powerful and delicious. Again oak and wood acidity, plus salty and spicy, with nutmeg, caraway and clove. Quite bitter at the beginning, but immediately followed by blackberry, sour cherry and bitter orange with lemon peel. There are also roasted nuts such as pecan. Everything is again underpinned by a pleasant acidity, perhaps from blackcurrant. I also have this in the powerful aftertaste, where green twigs and grass are still present. 9,2 A really expressive, complex, intense and yet round Agricole. It's rare to find something like this in a glass.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum extraordinaire qui montre que le style français peut rivaliser avec le style britannique. Le nez est un régal olfactif, plongé entre les notes confites et pâtissières, les arômes de tabac, de fruits tropicaux et l’avalanche d’épices, le tout formant un mélange gourmand et très complexe. En bouche, l’attaque est intense mais terriblement délicieuse. Là encore, une triangulaire épicée, fruitée et pâtissière mène la danse tandis que le tabac, le bois, le cacao et les noix arrivent en embuscade. L’alcool est extrêmement bien intégré. La finale est longue, très épicée et fraîche, avec des notes de thé et de réglisse en complément d’un profil déjà superbe. Une véritable pépite sensationnelle qui fait partie du top tier des rhums agricoles.
Review by Galli33
#15th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: fruity, coconut, woody, light spicy, honey, pastries Mouth: coconut, citrus, fruity, agricole, earthy, tobacco, nutmeg Finish: long, oak, woody, earthy, delicious, black tea, milk chocolate Wow, this is an amazing agricole. Starts without being an agricole, but in the mouth it’s chancing immediately. The finish is long and delicious and earthy. Really a great rum. It’s an agricole. My prediction: from Martinique, but i’m unsure to pick a distillery. ca. 55% approx. 15 Years
Review by Tom Buteneers
RumXmas 2022, #15, blind: I’m going with agricole, but I’m lacking experience in the French style to make an educated guess. I can’t differentiate enough between the distilleries. It opens up really nice, floral-honey flavors for me. Wow alcohol integration is amazing… first Chantal Comte for me I think. Not disappointed 😍
Review by mto75
great complexity on the nose! I am particularly impressed by the intense (cherry) wood notes on the palate!
Review by Mike H.
One of the most complex and balanced agricoles I’ve tasted so far.
Review by Jarek
I saved this one for last at today's Agricole tasting. Admittedly, the others were rather mid-range today. Then I lifted the lid off the glass and... wow, what a nose! So sweet! Also great on the palate, but the nose remains the highlight. Surprisingly, the sweetness is still there until the finish. I was afraid it would be too woody for me, but no, just the right amount here too. This is the Agricole premier league.
Review by Tschusikowsky
I expected a lot from this rhum. Unfortunately, it couldn't fulfill these expectations for me. A very good agricole, no doubt about it. But not quite in my top league.
Review by alex
J’ai eu la chance de goûter toute la série « tout de L’or ». Pour moi c’est le meilleur. Belle longueur, superbe équilibre. Belle complexité. Gros coup de ❤️
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Fart-dry, lots of wood, lots of spices but without any sweetness. Minimal citrus and some tobacco. I had hoped for much more overall ... the tannins are too much in the foreground for me although I am otherwise an agricole fan.

"What a top rhum ! Tasted in the RumX calendar. From the nose I still assumed a molasses rum and have tried to assign the aromatics. On the palate, however, the subtle florality and hay note has indicated a long-stored Agricole. The vanilla note in the nose is also quite great cinema. Stored La Mauny is from now on also on the radar."
