Bielle Brut de Fût 2012

Cand, hon, p, and a signature Bielle pepper on the finish — this 8-year agricole from Marie-Galante splits nicely between fruit and spice. Several tasters find it doux for a cask-strength pour, with vanilla and honey rounding out the wood. A couple feel the pepper and oak crowd out the grassy cane, but most call it a fine French-Antilles agricole.

The community says
  • Balanced fruit & spice
  • Well-integrated alcohol
  • But: Pepper can dominate

Je me sens presque mal de mettre une note aussi faible par rapports aux autres membres, mais je trouve que le poivre et le bois prennent trop de place même si la trame agricole et sa fraîcheur sont encore présents. Je suis un peu déçu, surtout pour une bouteille à 100€ 🙃 30/04: Je vais laisser le rhum un peu dans la bouteille voir si l’oxydation lui fait du bien Update du 21/12/21: ca y est le bois s’est apaisé avec la bouteille aux 3/4 et des arômes très pâtissiers sont apparus. Un vrai plaisir. 12/12/24 L’alcool est toujours trop présent au nez mais une bouche velouté costaud de vanille, boisé et solvant est bien là. Avec le recul le prix est acceptable.

Le nez est très porté sur les fruits confits. Le nez est envouteur avec une belle fraicheur et des épices en pagailles. La note de réglisse propre à Bielle est là mais moins présentes que d’accoutumé. En bouche, malgré que ce soit un BDF, c’est doux. Le boisé est présent avec délicatesse. C’est fruité et agréable. On a droit à une belle longueur vanillée-réglisse. C’est très harmonieux et un digne représentant de ce que sont de bons et beaux rhums agricoles des Antilles françaises ! 2012 avait été une année exceptionnelle en termes de récoltes de canne, et Bielle a réussi son pari !

BDF 2012 Le millésime 2012 a la particularité d'avoir 2 versions soutirées en 2018 et 2020 : 54,8° - 53,8° et 53,7% Vieilli 6 et 8 ans en fût de chêne Bourbon et vin blanc moelleux prestigieux (Yquem) et toujours sans filtration. Nez : Je trouve un côté orange confite, mentholé et poivré sur un filet de bois. Bouche : L'alcool est parfaitement intégré. Un côté mielleux et mentholé arrivent tout de suite puis sur la fin je trouve des épices. Un belle longueur pour la finale.

Au nez, côté orange / chocolat mais amer (pas sucré). Un côté mentholé également et végétal , ainsi que du bois et des épices plus légères. L’alcool est présent mais bien intégré. En bouche, le côté mentholé ressort beaucoup, on a des épices (poivre) et du bois bien marqué et le côté fruit que j’avais au nez reste présent mais moins marqué. La finale est moyenne avec le côté bois qui ressort et c’est plus rond avec le fruité qui reste.

Další velmi sympatický zástupce bielle, tentokrát z roku 2012. Máta, koření a šťáva na nose, chuť je velmi komplexní a za mě je to parádni agricole s perfektně integrovaným alkoholem. Závěr spíše krátší. Moc hezké.

The two years of ageing have done a lot of good to this Bielle which gains in complexity until it approaches a good AOC Martinique rum while keeping this shower of sweetness proper to the house.

Super des fruits confits, du fruits secs, du miel, du tabac génial ! Les fûts de vins blancs moelleux apportent une sacré texture digne de très vieux armagnac !
