CHAMAREL 2017 Habitation Velier

Nose : Refined, complex. Brimming with tropical fruits (kiwi, pineapple, banana), the nose also offers scents of verbena and vetiver, spices (ginger, cinnamon), vanilla pods, cane honey, warm cane sugar, and medicinal hints (mustard plaster). The aromatic profile evolves continuously.

Appearance : jaune doré soutenu.

Palate : Lively, energetic. Heady (clove pink, geranium), honeyed (acacia), and empyreumatic (menthol, eucalyptus), the palate successively unveils all the tropical fruits found on the nose. It then evolves toward more medicinal, camphorated, and spicy notes before becoming liqueur-like (cane sugar), vanilla-laced, and citrusy (lime, combava).

Overall : Distinguished, invigorating. At once oxidative (roasted pineapple, flambéed banana), fibrous (sugarcane), and smooth (cane honey), it is brightened by a fresh minty, almost aniseed-like sequence. The retro-olfaction is delicately chocolatey, liquorice-tinged, and spiced (cinnamon), showcasing remarkable maturity of expression and bringing together tropical fruits, cane sugar, and camphor under one elegant banner.
