Bielle Brut de Fût Chambord 2020

Bielle Brut de Fut Chambord 2020 is a three year old agricole from the Bielle distillery on Marie-Galante, known for cane-variety experiments and high-proof blancs. Drawn from the 2020 vintage and bottled at cask strength, it carries an unusual finish in Chambord barrels, the raspberry liqueur cask adding a dried-fruit dimension to Bielle's mineral house style.

Distilled from fresh sugarcane juice on a column still and matured in ex-bourbon oak before the Chambord finish, it shows dried fruit, vegetal cane and a barrel-led note on the nose, then a palate of dried fruit, oak and toasted wood that finishes woody and agricole with a clear cane thread. At 53.9% it carries real tension and length, the Chambord influence adding interest without burying the distillery character. A smart next pick for drinkers who already enjoy Bielle or cask-strength agricole and want the house cane profile pushed in a new, dried-fruit direction.
