Grassy freshness, oak and a peppery kick sit at the core of this 2009 La Favorite agricole, with vanilla and a little dried fruit and citrus around the edges. Several tasters find it balanced and typical of the style, but the nose runs light — one member had to warm it in the glass and rest it before much came through. Fruity, fresh, only lightly dry.
The community says- Fresh and grassy
- Peppery spice

How does La Favorite Millésime 2009 taste?
Summarized by AI from 19 community reviews.
Fresh, woody Martinique agricole, quietly aromatic Well-liked cane-juice agricole — woody, fresh and spicy with good balance. The recurring gripe is a faint, low-intensity nose; a few call it nice but not exciting.

After resting this one it gets really nice. I Unfortunately the price doesn't match what you pour. Still very fruity and fresh with spices and wood. Only very lightly dry.

This is my first “La Favorite”, and sorry to say I’m not impressed. The nose is extremely weak, hard to recognize any aroma at all, not even after warmed up in my hands. In mouth it’s the same initially, but after resting a while it’s was possible to recognize the tastes. The finish is quite long and tastes the same as at the palate.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Beautiful richness and typicity in this 2009 vintage. The balance on the nose and palate is well present, it just lacks a bit of aromatic intensity to make it great!
Review by Daniel
Clearly fresh and grassy on the nose and palate with quite a bit of spice. I find this profile slightly better than that of the 2010.
Review by Werner10
Good but not wow. Nice woody taste, some fruits and spices.
