Always a treat, a real nugget
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A typical and nicely balanced Agricole. I would have loved a higher ABV though. Draws really nice curtains on the glass. Price to quality can be argued.
Review by Pascal Gwada
Vraiment très bon, dans le classique. Mais trop cher, j'aurais misé entre 80 et 120€. Goûté Avent 2023 n24. Très bon nez riche épais fruits confits et un peu de boisé. Bouche aussi consistante avec une belle explosion, sur le pruneau, très rond, gras , sucrosité. Très Bonne longueur avec du cuir, bois, pruneaux bien ancrés. Une vrai réussite classique , mais le prix....
Review by Rado Vito
So smooth. Beautiful and full smell. Pleasent woody taste with a hint of spice and a little bit toasted. Noble between the rums.

Adventskalender La Route des Rhums 2023 Nr. 24. Der letzte :-( Hier der La Salle von Saint James. Ist holzig und röstig in der Nase mit einem Hauch Minze. Am Gaumen kommt dann ebenfalls die Minze gut zum Vorschein. Besser wir der Durchnitts 43%ige.

smells very delicate tastes fine, very pleasant, agricole but balanced,
Review by Léo Delek
Fruity, woody (+++) and roasted notes. Apricot, peach and a touch of cherry. There's a slight bitterness that's not unpleasant on the finish.
Review by Anonymous
Very nice tasting experience. More aromatic on the nose than on the palate. However, the price seems a little overpriced. This can only be explained by a rather confidential production.
