Clément's essential single-varietal cuvée celebrates its 20th anniversary and returns with a colorful 2020 harvest.
Native to Barbados, blue cane develops exceptional aromatic qualities, with a strong citrus component. This 2020 harvest offers fruity, round and spicy notes.
The special feature of this exceptional white rhum agricole is its slow reduction to 50° and perfect amplitude. 6 months of brewing and aeration are necessary before bottling Clément Canne Bleue. Distillation takes place in a traditional Creole copper column.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose, light at first, evokes a tender, mellow cane, still delicate and diaphanous. It soon becomes greener and fresher, giving it greater strength and vivacity.
With a little air and, above all, rest, the rum takes on a rather original profile all its own. The candied cane carries hints of bread dough and yeast, which coexist with sweet lime aromas.
The palate is colorful and flowery, so much so that it may even come as a surprise at first. In fact, it's an overflow of fruit of all colors (the reds in the lead) that spreads out from the attack, accompanied by a long ribbon of white flowers that take us gently back to a candied cane, still a little green and slightly peppery.
The finish continues on pepper and rather dry bagasse, for a typically Martinique conclusion.
"A 2020 edition that stands out from the crowd with its unique, colorful and flowery personality..."
By comparison, the 2019 Clément canne bleue was drier, with more bagasse and pepper. Flowers and fruit were also present, but their notes were lighter. The palate was really 100% cane, with a fairly dry profile that led to a spicy finish.

It is similar to the other vintages but I preferred other years.
