More questions
The Montebello Blanc is a white wine that immediately captures attention for its elegance and balance. Produced with a careful selection of grapes grown in fertile, sunny soils, this wine stands out for its freshness and vibrancy.
On the nose, the Montebello Blanc offers a rich aromatic bouquet with notes of white-fleshed fruits such as pear and apple, enhanced by floral nuances and a light touch of aromatic herbs that add complexity and depth. The purity of the fruits is expressed with an intensity that preludes to a refined tasting experience.
On the palate, the wine reveals a well-balanced structure. The acidity is lively but not overpowering, allowing for a pleasantly fresh and persistent drink. The texture is soft and harmonious, with a finish that returns to the fruity and floral tones sensed on the nose, leaving a pleasingly clean and refreshing sensation.
Served chilled, the Montebello Blanc is perfect as an aperitif, but its versatility also makes it ideal for pairing with light dishes such as fresh salads, fish or seafood dishes, and medium-aged cheeses.
The 100cl bottle is ideal for sharing special moments with friends or family, ensuring that each glass served maintains all the freshness and expressiveness of the wine.
This wine is not just a complement to various dishes, but a central element of a table that celebrates the joy of dining together, an invitation to enjoy moments of pure conviviality.

Distillery
Montebello
GuadeloupeFranceSince 1930

The story
The production now marketed as Montebello originates from the small Carrère distillery. The Marsolle family has run the business for generations: roots tied to cane cultivation since the late 19th century and development of the Carrère distillery from 1930. Over the years the family management modernized equipment while keeping an artisanal character and introducing barrel aging and bagasse recycling practices.
Distillation
Column distillation for the agricole expressions (column still).
Ageing
Aging in oak barrels (ex‑Bourbon and ex‑Cognac); some expressions are offered as 'brut de fût' (bottled at cask/barrel strength). Barrels are sometimes placed in metal containers to enhance aromatic extraction in a tropical climate, following local practices.
