Distilled in the old columns of the Factory of Simon-located just in front of The Rum Company-small columns and entirely made of copper, this rum old Martinican was developed in exceptional conditions. The peculiarity of this columns lies in the exhaling of intense perfumes that give the rum a particularly expressive and round profile. This lot was chosen with care by the Maître de Chai and the oenologist of the House, Robert Peronet and Gaëlle Hardy. It is an assembly composed of rums aged between 3 and 10 years in red barrels of Bourbon. It is the gourmet and exotic notes of vanilla, coconut and chocolate that rub shoulders with those of dates and subtle tobacco, which seduced the experts Clément.

Balancing bitter, sweet and spicy to the traditional Creole style. Fruity and floral aromas integrate with the flavours of anise, caraway and fennel to make this bitters a wonderful addition to many classic and modern drinks, no matter what spirits or liqueurs they are based on.

Concentration is the key word for this wine. Super ripe fruit, dense and rich, matured for an extended time in toasty new oak. Complex, vibrant aromas of violets, plums, blackberries and cassis with dried rosemary, thyme and oregano nuances, and a hint of beef stock, cedar and star anise spice. The palate is powerful yet incredibly finely structured with layers of plums, blackberries and red currants, guided by elegant acidity and tannins that integrate with the fruit and lead to a long, fine, beguiling finish. Exceptional vintage, 25+ years (from vintage).

Interesting label but why the fish? Simple. We love fishing and the Coral Trout is one of our favourites!

Fermented with indigenous yeast, the ferments were gently hand-plunged twice daily. The wine was then pressed off a few days after completion of primary ferment and matured in old French barriques for two years. Tiraged in June 2020, the wine was then allowed 29 months of maturation onlees before being disgorged in November 2022. Tasting Note Attractive bright garnet in colour with just the right amount of fizz. Aromas of ripe cherry andchocolate are interlaced with attractive savoury spice. The palate is generous, and packed with dense dark fruits. Balanced sweetness is paired with a mouth-filling creaminess owed to time spent on lees.
