Christian de Montaguère La Favorite Créolita 2022
Sipped neat, this young La Favorite agricole leads with fresh sugarcane, black pepper and new oak, plus vanilla and a herbal, earthy edge. One Danish taster caught light tobacco, apple and cherry too. Round and slightly honeyed but on the dry side, with a long peppery-woody finish. Several found it a touch monolithic and youthful, but the texture carries it.
The community says- Fresh sugarcane
- Peppery, spiced finish
- Tastes young

How does Christian de Montaguère La Favorite Créolita 2022 taste?
Aggregated from 24 community reviews.
Young peppery agricole, cane and new oak Well-liked young ESB agricole — sugarcane, pepper and oak in fine balance. A few felt it tastes its age and stays a bit one-dimensional; the unaged Créole won some over more.

Review by Émile Shevek
The nose is intriguing with toasted hazelnuts, wood, red and dried fruits, then tobacco and custard. The palate is oily and enveloping, with sweet notes of dates(perhaps even apple and agave syrup) and cream, then spice/pepper, cashews and some toasted wood on the finish. The alcohol profile is reminiscent of a fine grappa. In the aftertaste that lingers for a long time, a very good, dry hint of wood. Overall it is quite simple, but with a distinct personality. I prefer the aroma to the taste. In the empty glass seasoned and dates. If it had not had that pungent alcoholic note it would have been a 9, it sins in roundness.
Review by Rhumié972
Very good ESB, with very present pastry aromas, the extreme toasting reveals the woodiness and spiciness without masking the fruitiness. The 180th barrel ageing is a success. And what's more, the delicious taste lingers on the palate long after tasting.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Un élevé sous bois avec une excellente richesse et typicité aromatique ! Le fruit et les épices sont la trame de cet élevé sous bois. Finale longue sur les épices, la canne et le boisé, tout en finesse et équilibre.
Review by Baptiste
Meilleur élevé sous bois que j'ai pu goûter
Review by Jeremy Roger 🇫🇷
Pas goûté beaucoup d'ESB mais c'est très bon, me nez me rappel le profil 105. Agréablement doux avec un retour poivré en finale. De la canne fraiche légèrement boisée. Très sympas
Review by Ayc
Tres doux très bien intègré joli texture. Le nez est assez intéressant, yuzu compoté de pomme (limite tatain). En bouche c’est agréable mais on sent la jeunesse du jus. Par contre le côté vert et un peu monolithique est compensé par sa texture
Review by ElReyTristan
Couleur jaune légèrement doré mais encore assez pâle. On pense à vieillissement court naturellement. Au nez on sent la canne à sucre et le poivre, le bois neuf et aspect terreux et tabac asteingeant. En bouche c’est rond et mielleux mais plutôt sec, toujours des notes terreuses!et épicées. Finale réglisse et canne brûlé. Bon rhum, a déguster avec un cigare puissant je pense qu’il peut faire un bel accord.
Review by Cédric Meyers
Étonnant pour un ESB. On retrouve en bouche le goût de la canne. Il est rond, bien équilibrée. Très agréable
Review by Morgan Garet
Un peu déçu j'en attendais beaucoup + au vu des louanges à sa sortie.... La créole non vieillie est bien au dessus.
