CLÉMENT RUM - Homère Cuvée - 44%
Discover at Clos des Spiritueux the prestigious Homère Cuvée from Maison Clément, an iconic reference of Martinique AOC agricole rum. Located at Habitation du Simon in Le François, in the heart of a volcanic terroir benefiting from the trade winds, the Clément distillery has been perpetuating a family tradition of excellence since the late 19th century, cultivating sugarcane as a noble plant and rigorously selecting its varieties and maturities to guarantee exceptional freshness of the juice. The Clément style is distinguished by precise and elegant distillates, suitable for prolonged aging in barrels, while preserving the agricultural typicity of Martinican rum.
The Homère Cuvée pays tribute to the visionary founder Homère Clément and today symbolizes the pinnacle of the Clément aged rum range. This rare and refined rum is aimed at discerning enthusiasts seeking an exceptional spirit, deep, complex, and worthy of the finest prestigious digestifs.
The Clément Homère Cuvée 44% is an aged agricole rum distilled in a Creole column from freshly pressed pure sugarcane juice, then aged for a long time in carefully selected oak barrels chosen for their grain and their ability to enhance the aromatic palette. The blend brings together highly mature rums, aged under tropical climate to concentrate the aromas and enhance the texture. These precious barrels impart delicate notes of vanilla, precious wood, and spices, while respecting the unique vegetal freshness of the cane.
The cellar master crafts the Homère Cuvée like a grand cru, seeking the perfect balance between power, softness, complexity, and the characteristic freshness of the Martinican terroir. The 44% alcohol content was specially selected to magnify the aromatic depth and offer a silky, full, and harmonious mouthfeel. This collector's rum is intended for slow tasting, not for cocktails, to reveal all the richness of an exceptional terroir.
On tasting, the Clément Homère Cuvée immediately captivates with its deep mahogany color with sparkling amber highlights, a true signature of long aging. The nose is remarkably intense, combining ripe cane, noble vanilla, dried fruits, candied orange, blond tobacco, and elegant nuances of cocoa and waxed wood. On the palate, the attack is generous and enveloping, revealing a rich body perfectly balanced by a spicy framework and discreet freshness. The aromas develop in successive layers, oscillating between candied fruits, brown caramel, dark honey, roasted hazelnut, and light coffee, for an unmatched and caressing length sensation.
The finish is silky, persistent, marked by precious wood, cocoa, a smoky touch, and an elegant warmth that prolongs the experience in the mouth. This great Martinican agricole rum is ideally enjoyed neat or on a large ice cube, and pairs perfectly with a dark chocolate dessert, a caramelized banana tart, a spiced roasted pineapple, or, for aficionados, an exceptional cigar during a moment of true tasting and contemplation.
