Rhum Chantal Comte Maison La Mauny La Tour De L‘Or 2006
Sipped neat, this is a cask-strength Martinique agricole that leans dark and woody more than grassy. Expect vanilla, almond and caramel up front, then a wave of pepper, cinnamon and toasted oak, with dried apricot and orange zest trailing a long, warm finish. Several tasters called it a "Holzbombe" — a wood bomb — yet the 57.7% stays remarkably well integrated.

The look inside the bottle
How does Rhum Chantal Comte Maison La Mauny La Tour De L‘Or 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 66 community reviews.
Woody, complex cask-strength Martinique agricole Loved across the board as an elegant, complex agricole with perfectly buried alcohol. Some find it more woody-gourmand than classic grassy agricole, and one taster found the pepper a touch much.

Review by Joachim Guger
Very nice Agricole. Top!!!The nose like a chord on the guitar, harmonious, very complex, but individual facets are difficult to taste out. Perfect in the mouth. The 2001 is my favorite, still absolute recommendation to buy, as this will be a collector's item in a few years.
Review by mto75
another top Chantal Comte La Tour De L'Or! From memory, however, I would say that the 2001 was a little better and more intense. Many thanks for the sample to Vienna!
Review by Lawich Lowaine
L'élégance de chantal comte. Un rhum complexe.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Now that we're at it we decided to crack open this one as well and we're really happy that we did, because we all agreed that it's even better than the 2005. The nose is very fruity with almonds and vanilla with sone toasted oak added to it. The palate is wonderfully balanced and complex with fruit, cinnamon and vanilla. Then to add to the wonderful experience some smoky oak. The finish is forever and warm/woody with orange zest and marzipan.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum des grands soirs qui débute par un nez sublime et d’une grande complexité. La trame est fraîche sur les fleurs et les herbes aromatiques, avant de changer de ton et s’orienter sur un profil plus gourmand et épicé : caramel, sucre brun et notes confites se lient au boisé, au poivre, à la cannelle, à la muscade, à la vanille et au gingembre pour un bouquet aromatique très fin et délicat. On retrouve également des notes de chocolat, de café, d’amande et de toast. Les fruits, surtout séchés (abricots) et exotiques (ananas) sont plus en retrait. La touche de solvants, originale pour un rhum agricole, fait la différence avec le Millésime 2005. L’attaque en bouche est très gourmande et savoureuse. La douceur des notes pâtissières (toffee, caramel, viennoiseries) apporte beaucoup de rondeur au palais. Les épices reviennent en force avec des notes boisées et empyreumatiques (noisette, café, chocolat, notes fumées et rôties) plus marquées qu’à l’accoutumé sur les profils agricoles. Les fruits, au second plan, rehaussent toutefois le niveau et apportent un bel équilibre des saveurs en bouche. L’alcool est très bien intégré dans ce profil à la fois expressif et sensuel. La finale est longue, chaleureuse, ample et délicate. Les épices, le boisé et les notes torréfiées (café, amande) vont de pair avec le toffee, le caramel et le chocolat, prolongeant ainsi le plaisir gustatif en bouche. En comparaison avec le Millésime 2005, ce Chantal Comte est légèrement plus rond et moins agricole. Un rhum de grande classe, qui change des profils traditionnels des Antilles françaises.
Review by Harald
Color: Bright red-brown Aroma: Sweet, elegant, fruity and delicious. Aromas of candy floss and cake batter, vanilla and almond. The fruitiness is reminiscent of strawberries, raisins and Mon Cherie. Taste: Round and spicy. Aromas of Black Forest gateau, raisins, cognac and toffee. There is also a hint of herbal toffee. Finish: Long Woody, peppery and spicy. Also cognac and toffee. Dry and pleasantly woody in the aftertaste. 88 points

Rien à dire, magnifique ! Quelle élégance, ce rhum a tout. ❤️
Review by alex
Intense, palette aromatique très concentrée, complexe, on sent pas les watts malgré les 60*. Superbe agricole. Merveilleux. Explosion en bouche, et final interminable 😍😍😍
Review by Mike H.
Stunning nose and taste. The rum is very thick in the mouth and the flavors just burst out: wood, spices, vanilla, citrus fruit and so on. This is a very complex rum with a long finish. The only downside is the slight orange note in the finish as I’m not the biggest fan of it.
Review by Gregor
Especially at the beginning intensely alcoholic and solvent-like, which then subsides and turns into wood and tropical fruits. The taste is very intense and complex. First Agricole then tropical fruits then wood. The agricole underpins the entire flavor.
Review by JB
Puissant et complexe. Une finale très persistante.
Review by Basti
So far I haven't really warmed up to Agricole, so it was time for a little crosstasting. 1st RX7238 (Neisson Full Proof): Overall more on the fresh/fruity side. Alcohol very well integrated -> 8.5/10. 2nd RX10968 (St. James V&B): Here I particularly like the nose with the subtle glue note, tropical and dried fruits. On the palate then clearly spicier/roastier and slightly bitter -> 8.6/10. 3rd (RX1146) La Mauny: Quite sweet on the nose, with lots of caramel, dried nuts and vanilla. Nuts and vanilla. A floral note initially on the palate, then spices and wood dominate -> 8.5/10. 4. RX2216 (Kill Devil Bellevue 1998): Mint, chocolate and some smoke on the nose. On the palate also chocolate and mint, plus wood, caramel, some tropical fruit and leather. Fruits and leather. I liked the taste best. -> 8,7/10. 5th RX6221 (Karukera Velier 70th): For me the most "agricole" on the nose. In contrast to the other representatives in the tasting, I can tell directly from the nose that this is an agricole. I can detect typical fresh, grassy notes, sugar cane and unfortunately also a slightly musty note. I also find it quite floral/flowery/grassy on the palate. -> 7,9/10
Review by Buddudharma
Wunderbar intensiver Agricole, eher auf der dunklen Seite mit viel Holz und Kirsche, in Summe ein sehr elegantes, stimmiges Profil. Muss hier nach der 2. Verkostung nochmal leicht nach oben korrigieren: Dieser Rum ist quasi wirklich am perfekten Punkt zwischen sehr intensiv und trotzdem mit perfekt integriertem, nicht störendem Alkohol positioniert. Zusätzlich ein wunderbar komplexes Profil. Große Agricole-Kunst!
Review by Martin Augustin
Ein durchaus scharfer Geruch, allerdings sehr komplex. Vanille, Walnuss und Holz. Sehr toller Geschmack mit viel natürlicher Süße von Honig und Karamell. Aber auch die typischen grasigen Agricole Noten kommen durch. Warmer und angenehmer Abgang. Tolles Produkt.
Review by Philipp Kestel
Ein rum den ich aufgrund der Blindverkostung wesentlich älter und stärker geschätzt hätte. Dennoch eine wirkliche Holzbombe. Das mag ich gerne. Bisher noch kein Reinfall beim advent dabei. klasse
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Very nicely balanced, wood is not overpowering the other finer notes. On the nose is not a straight up Agricole for me. On palate it's clear, very rich and complex. Perfect alcohol integration. thanks JacobM for sharing a sample.
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso solvente, frutta rossa, confettura e legno Al palato intenso ma anche delicato e dolce con sentori di frutti rossi, legno, agrumi, pepe(forse troppo) accompagnato da un'ottima rotondità e un'integrazione alcolica perfetta, finale medio e legnoso/bosco. Nel bicchiere vuoto permangono i frutti rossi e legno delicato di sauna. (Thanks JakobM)
Review by Djehey
Voilà un rhum que je trouve très abouti, cohérent et équilibré. Les arômes de fût dominent mais ils sont variés et équilibrés entre eux. L'alcool apporte une belle puissance à l'ensemble. Seul bémol, le nez qui semble un peu fermé.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le nez est INTENSE ! C’est plus que parfait. Il faudrait garder un sample juste pour s’en servir de point de comparaison pour le nez des rhums agricoles. Je n’ai pas de souvenir d’un rhum agricole avec un nez aussi charmeur. C’est chaud et envouteur ! On a des épices, du boisé, du fruité, de la vanille, des fruits secs … une palette aromatique hyper concentrée ! Vous aurez compris, je surkiffe ce nez … En bouche l’alcool est parfaitement intégré alors que nous fleuretons avec les 60%. L’attaque est très gourmande sur le chocolat. Ensuite on retrouve le côté épicé du nez.
