Rhum Chantal Comte Bielle Brut de Fûts Rhum Vieux Agricole de Marie Galante
The 58% barely shows — taster after taster expected a punch and got elegance instead. This old Bielle agricole leans dark and complex: pastry and brown sugar on the nose, then nutmeg, pepper, licorice and fine oak, with dried apricot and hazelnut trailing a very long finish. It needs air and a warm room to open, and several say the last sip is the best.

The look inside the bottle
How does Rhum Chantal Comte Bielle Brut de Fûts Rhum Vieux Agricole de Marie Galante taste?
Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Elegant old agricole, 58% that hides itself Consensus is a rare, deeply balanced agricole where the high proof hides completely. The only quibble: it's more refined than expressive, and needs patience to bloom.

Review by Joachim Guger
A favorite distillery (Bielle) and a favorite IB (Chantal Comte). The only Bielle in the RumX database that was bottled before 2000. Key data that invite you to dream.😍 A very fine, fragile nose. Extremely complex. Solvent at the beginning, then pastry, slightly nutty. Slightly animal and the finest wood spice. The 58% is hidden, would rather guess 43%. Wonderful in the mouth. Full, warm, now very spicy and the finest oak. The finish is awesome. First dried apricot and then plenty of pepper. Then pastry and spice, it could be longer. Reminds me of a Liberation chiseled with Neissonian elegance. An absolute highlight 😍😍😍😍Every mm is a pleasure.
Review by TheRhumhoe
An extremely rare unicorn that is just as fascinating to taste. The nose is unbelievably gourmand: buttery, pastry-like notes flood the nostrils (gingerbread, brioche, cookie, caramel cream, toffee, brown sugar), followed by chocolate, hazelnut, sweet spices (vanilla, nutmeg), a light woodiness and subtle toasty notes. Exotic fruits join in the olfactory dance, making this rum a veritable nasal orgasm. The attack on the palate is expressive yet delicate. Spices first flex their muscles (pepper, ginger, licorice) before roasted, woody notes, hazelnuts and milk chocolate take over. Exotic fruits also take their place in this aromatic deluge. The alcohol is perfectly integrated and the creamy texture makes it even more drinkable. An extremely well-balanced, deep and delicate rum. The finish, even more shimmering, goes on and on. Tobacco and spices bring a comforting warmth to the palate, before a surprising saline note appears. Hazelnut, chocolate and coffee add gourmandise, while dried and exotic fruits develop a finish that tends towards the freshness of eucalyptus. It's a real privilege to have tasted such a monument, the like of which we won't see again any time soon.
Review by Giorgio Garotti
Wow! Non mi aspettavo tutta questa parte scura e intensa in bielle! L’equilibrio è perfetto tra note dolci, note amare e legno tostato! Per essere la prima selezione di Chantal Comté che assaggio non potevo chiedere di meglio!
Review by Johannes
Outstanding Bielle! Beautiful balance, tropical notes, wood, nut, dark fruits.

#4536 11.01.2024 My palate is back to normal and actually hyper sensitive at the moment. Preparing for the tasting we have tomorrow. Wow, this is a very nice Bielle. Overall super good balance and nice intensity. I really like the mixture of flavours in the profile and the super long finish. There is a faint licorice note in the profile. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some sugarcane dried fruit.
Review by Djehey
C'est très bon mais là où je m'attendais à quelque chose de très expressif, on beaucoup plus sur l'élégance. Il lui faut également du temps pour s'ouvrir (et une bonne température) : la dernière gorgée est la meilleure ;p Un côté empyreumatique et floral se développe (fin du verre (T__T)). Je pense que c'est typiquement le genre de rhum où il faut une bouteille pour pleinement profiter de toutes ses facettes ! Mais où sont passés les 58° d'alcool ???
Review by ArminK
A real surprise. Thanks Egon for the extra sample. Very pleasant nose with vanilla, candied fruits, and a bit of chocolate. On the palate, the 58% ABV is well integrated. A light sweetness with fruits that still works. Nice medium to long finish.
Review by Oli Hollister
Wow, another fine selection from Madame Comte. The 2nd best Bielle I've ever had: fine, complex and elegant!
Review by Antoine Grimaldi
Un Chantal-Comte-Biel Brut de Fût remarquable. La puissance des 58° reste incroyablement maîtrisée, offrant une bouche ample, profonde et d’une grande élégance. Un rhum qui conjugue caractère, complexité et finesse. Clairement un 10/10.
